She said some parents who fail to develop their plots offer the title deeds to their children. The trouble begins when the other children claim right of ownership by birth.

"There have been some cases recently when children from the same family were fighting over a plot.  Their complaint was that their parents secretly gave the plot to one of the children. They would complain that they were not consulted at all," said Seabe
In other situations the parents lend the plot to one of the children who then develops it treating his siblings like tenants.
