My father’s ancestral land was divided in 1962 between my two uncles and him. While my uncles inherited their land independently, my father’s share is jointly owned with another family member. My father applied for an electricity connection in 1972, listing himself as the sole owner on the EB form. His name is also the only one on the settlement register as his sole heir. I need legal guidance on whether the electricity connection is solely mine or if my joint well partner also has a right to use the power. Please advise and suggest the best course of action.

The electricity connection, while registered in your father’s name, might not be solely yours. The joint ownership of the land means your joint well partner may have a claim to the electricity connection. You should consult a legal professional to assess your specific situation and explore legal options, such as seeking a partition of the property or negotiating a shared ownership agreement for the connection.
