My grandfather, a Hindu, promised my father, his eldest son, six acres of his eighteen-acre land during his marriage. However, he later backtracked on this promise and unfairly favored other children for 25 years. Now, my grandfather has distributed his property to others, completely excluding our family. My father and I, the eldest grandchild, are facing hardship due to this injustice. My stepmother, who inherited the property, is still demanding the remaining share. My grandfather and grandmother are still alive. What legal options do I have to claim my rightful share of the land? I’m struggling financially and need guidance. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best Answer
As your grandfather is still alive, you cannot claim the land based on the promise made to your father. You may have grounds to seek a share of the land based on principles of Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property, but you’d need to demonstrate your father’s claim and prove the unfair distribution. Seeking legal advice from a lawyer specializing in family law is crucial to understand your specific legal options and the best course of action.
