'farm estates' that have real value, even in the present economy. They've been nationalized. They will never get them back.

The best they could do is try to sue the government for the value of the property--and in the case of the fincas, to say nothing of the businesses in highly desirable areas, that value is substantial. I doubt the government would give them the true value of the properties if anything at all.
