Richard Roe

Richard Roe is a legal term used in property law to refer to a hypothetical person who represents an unknown or unnamed party involved in a legal dispute, particularly in cases concerning land ownership. The term is often used when a property is claimed by someone whose identity is not known, allowing the court to refer to this party as Richard Roe. This concept helps ensure that legal proceedings can continue even when all parties cannot be identified, thereby facilitating the resolution of disputes in property cases.
