Manage to get back ?

Happened to my family too. But not a stranger that did that, and the guy didn't take anything that was not his. Just he managed to take his portion of the land (land with multiple names) without getting approval from the remaining names. When the remaining names checked about the status of the land, only they find out that the land became smaller and the guy's name is gone from the land title.

It's easy to do funny things with land if you know someone with authority.

Ya... my wife's side also kena, by my FIL own siblings some more.

One day the younger bro came to his house, asking to see the geran tanah, as he needs it for some ranjiao purpose which I forgot. My FIL being a simple minded person, just passed to him. The bugger smart, wait my BIL and MIL not at home when he strikes. Soon, we realized the name changed already. Whole family wanna challenge to court as there's a will from the grandfather, but my super simpleton FIL decided not to as he wanted "harmony" in the family, being the eldest...
Already highlighted by many here, it is more common than u think, but stuffs like this don't appear in the news often.

story? no one knew it was transfferred? i mean no one go and dispute?
