Fogarty Expropriation Information

Take Notice that a court proceeding is being held in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia  Hfx No. 431696 to determine title to two pieces of land in Guysborough County bearing PIDs 35044056 and 35214014, belonging to the heirs at law of Joseph Fogarty.  

The land is vacant and has been expropriated by the Municipality of the District of Guysborough.  An independent appraisal of the land values it at $140,000.  

Joseph Fogarty died intestate in 1907 at Fox Island, Guysborough, Nova Scotia with eight children surviving him.  The heirs at law of Joseph Fogarty are named as respondents in this proceeding because the last deed to the properties was a deed to Joseph Fogarty, dated July 13, 1897. 

The heirs at law of Michael Vincent Fogarty (died 1977) have claimed an interest in the properties based on the use and occupation of the properties by Michael Vincent Fogarty and his descendants.

Any person with an interest in these lands should contact Tipper McEwan of Stewart McKelvey at PO Box 997, 1959 Upper Water Street, Suite 900, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 2X2 (tmcewan@stewartmckelvey.com), 902.444.1743 or appear at the Law Courts, 1815 Upper Water Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 1S7 on January 15, 2015 at 11:00 a.m.
