Question, I was told that to get an legal work done in Peru takes even longer than the states. My friend inherited property from his Grandfather and the land needs to be divided between 4 other cousins, plus the land is occupied by people who simply moved in without asking is this common to happen there if the owner of the building/property isn't there and would this be a lengthy process?

well, your friend is in trouble. First, if your friend is a national, and if there is a will (his grandfather will), there wouldn't be too much trouble to get the land, but, as you say, it is now occupied by other people (they could be renters from his GP, or they may just have moved in), this is where trouble begins, if the land has been left alone or not occupied for the last ten years and the people occupying it have paid the taxes (city taxes), then it is going to be difficult to rescue it, as there is a law that would confer them the land. If that is not the case and those people are just "invaders", then, a trial in court for having the property back can last a few years, I am sorry but that is the real thing.

Good luck to your friend, he better get a good lawyer and it can take years and lots of money.
