Reading: My parents, who sadly passed away in 1996 and 2016 respectively, left me a 30×40 property in Palace Guttahalli, Bangalore. I’m trying to divide the property with my brother, but we’re facing difficulties. My father wished for an equal share for me, but unfortunately, he passed away before finalizing a will. My brother claims our mother gave him control of the property and a release order, offering me only 12 feet. However, Sharia Law dictates a 2:1 division, giving me 12.66 feet. He’s also withholding water connection access. The situation is straining relations between us, and I’m looking for expert guidance to navigate this sensitive family matter.

In the absence of a valid will, your father’s property will be divided equally between you and your brother under the Indian Succession Act. The release order your brother claims may be invalid as it was not executed by your father, and Sharia law does not override Indian inheritance laws. You should consult a legal professional to navigate this complex situation and seek a fair division of the property.
