Reading: A father bought a property and later wanted to transfer it to his son. His daughter agreed to this transfer in a family settlement, but the municipality refused to change the title. The father then filed a lawsuit. The daughter gave her consent in front of a civil judge, but her signature was taken on blank papers, suggesting a transfer between siblings. The lawsuit was later dismissed. The daughter also gave an affidavit stating she had no objection to the property transfer. Is this consent now affecting her rights? Should she file a case for partition?

The daughter’s consent, even if given through an affidavit and in court, may be challenged due to the circumstances surrounding her signature on blank papers. Her rights to the property may not be extinguished, and she may have grounds to file a partition suit to claim her rightful share. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to assess the legal implications of the situation and advise on appropriate action.
