My daughter's relationship has ended and I fear her ex-boyfriend will claim on the field I gave her - does he have a case?

"We gave her 10 acres of land so she could build a house on it, but then she met her ex-partner"

"Dear Mary Frances, I'm feeling very anxious and don't know where to turn."

"A few years ago, I gave my daughter a field of about 10 acres on our family farm, quite close to my own home, so she could build a house."

"It was always my hope that she would have a home of her own and I wanted to help her start that journey."

The parent transferred a field of about 10 acres on the family farm, located close to the parent's own home, so the daughter could build a house. The parent's intention was to help the daughter secure a home and support the start of that stage of life. Obtaining planning permission took some time. During the delay the daughter met an ex-partner. The parent reports feeling very anxious and uncertain about how to proceed or where to seek guidance.
