Damilola has been working for the last 30 years, without renumeration, on a farm owned by her Father's cousin, Doreen. Doreen has needed Damilola's help ever since the huge falling out with her two sons, Steven and Dwyane, over 30 years ago, where she banned them from the farm and told them never to contact her again.

Damilola explains to you that she has been providing such work for free

on the understanding and expectation that she will inherit the farm on

Doreen's death. No express declarations have been made but Damilola has made it clear to you in client interview, that Doreen has made remarks over the years

leading her to believe that she would inherit the farm. She states that such

remarks were made in front of two independent witnesses.Doreen died intestate three weeks ago and she is now uncertain as to what will happen to the proprietorship of the farm. She also states that now, Doreen's two sons, Steven and Dwyane, have suddenly arrived back on the scene.

Analyse the relevant law and advise Damilola accordingly
