As per Indian law, you can’t claim a portion of the property your grandfather acquired independently unless you have a legal right through inheritance, a will, or a previous agreement. Since he’s still alive, the property is his to dispose of as he sees fit.

My mother and I are siblings, a girl and a boy. Our father passed away two years ago. Now, my brother and his second wife are preventing me and my mother from seeing each other. When I tried to visit her, they filed a police report against my husband, accusing him of harassing his wife. My mother is now isolated from the family, and they’ve taken her house and are trying to control her bank account. She is over 65 years old and needs our support.

My 80-year-old father is paralyzed and needs constant care. He lives with me, and I’ve been providing all his needs, including medical attention, for the past year and a half. I’m moving overseas permanently with my family, but my only brother, who lives in our family home, refuses to take care of him. I’m worried about my father’s safety, as he has odd behavior and my brother might not treat him well, especially since there’s a small house involved. I don’t have a good relationship with my brother, and my father, at his age, wouldn’t want me to complain. What should I do to ensure his well-being?

My husband and I met online, he proposed and I said yes. He asked for money before our marriage, which I gave him. Right after the wedding, he became emotionally distant, saying he was trapped financially. I took out a loan from my parents, but it wasn’t enough, so I gave him all the jewelry from his family. He even took out a loan against that, but never showed me any paperwork. Now, he refuses to repay the loans, won’t give back the jewelry, and doesn’t take financial responsibility for me or our child. My parents are helping us. He recently moved without telling me and sent my belongings to his hometown, preventing me from going with him. I belong to a Scheduled Tribe community.

My family in Delhi consists of my mother, father, elder sister, and myself. We live in a house jointly owned by my parents. My father takes out loans, which my mother and now my unmarried sister (33) are repaying. My father’s behaviour is causing us immense distress, and he threatens suicide if we don’t give him money or sell the property. We’re worried he might destroy any funds we receive from a sale. Could you advise on how we can separate from my father and claim our rightful share of the property?

Previous Article After serving 34 years as a Captain in the Indian Army, I was transferred to the pension establishment on March 1st, 2007. My initial pension was set at Rs. 14,775 per month, which I believe was incorrect. Based on my final salary of Rs. 32,290 (including basic pay, grade pay, and MSP), my monthly pension should have been Rs. 16,145. This discrepancy was rectified on September 23rd, 2012, and my pension was adjusted accordingly. However, I request that the correct pension of Rs. 16,145 be made applicable retroactively from March 1st, 2007.
Next Article My father, who owned his home, transferred it to my mother, a homemaker, before he passed away. My brother took a loan of 20 lakhs, with my mother as a co-applicant, to build a house on the property. My brother and I both share the EMI payments equally. The property is registered in my mother’s name, and the loan is also in her and my brother’s names. Now, my mother wants to transfer the house to her grandson (my brother’s son) through a will, leaving me out. Is it legally possible for her to do this even though the property is under a loan?
