Hello,

Your question is simple, but in order to answer accurately, much more information is needed.

In principle, your mother (or her heir) has the right to reclaim her property. However, if the land use rights no longer exist or if, during the implementation of land policies and laws, the State has allocated or leased the land or recognized the land use rights... then there is no right to reclaim.

Therefore, to determine the exact situation, you need to verify and gather relevant information and documents related to the land parcel to form a basis for assessment.

Contact information for a lawyer if necessary:

Based on the information provided, your mother may have legal grounds to reclaim the property in Vietnam, depending on the current land registration status and whether the land was lawfully transferred or allocated to another party after 1979.

To proceed further, we recommend the following next steps:

1. Kindly provide scanned copies of the house deed and any related documents (tax receipts, old maps, or ownership records, if available).
2. We will conduct a preliminary legal review and verify the current land status with the local land authority in Vietnam.
3. Based on the findings, we will advise on the most effective legal approach to recover the property or protect your mother’s rights.

Please note that each case depends on specific historical records, so document review is essential before taking formal action.

The above constitutes the legal advice of Trien Luat Law Office based on the information you have provided. Should you have any further questions or require assistance in reviewing applicable legal regulations or preparing documentation, please feel free to contact our office at 213A Nguyen Xi Street, Binh Loi Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, or call Attorney – Ms. Thao at +84 776 820 693.

The lawyer advises as follows:

Your mother still retains the original Land Use Rights Certificate (Red Book/Original Deed).

In the event that the land has not been recovered—if a search confirms that the State has not issued a formal recovery decision—your mother remains the legal land user and holds the following rights:

·       To re-register her name on the cadastral records;

·       To exercise her rights to: use, transfer, lease, or bequeath the property, etc.

Note: The scope of rights your mother may exercise depends on her legal status (e.g. overseas Vietnamese, Vietnamese nationality retained or restored) and the type of land involved. Certain transactions may require eligibility conditions under current land law.

You and your family need to follow the procedures to verify the current status and re-register the land use rights at the Land Registration Office.

Your mother may legally authorize a relative or a lawyer in Vietnam to:

·       Work directly with the People’s Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment;

·       File complaints or initiate a lawsuit (if necessary).

In this case, you should contact the lawyer directly via phone at 0914 431 086 to receive the most specific and detailed legal consultation.
