A father, now passed away, left his property to be divided equally amongst his four sons in his will. His daughters have signed a release deed, agreeing to the division. However, one brother is unhappy with the way the other three have planned to divide the land. What legal options are available to him to get his desired share of the property? Where should he file his case? What outcome can he expect? Would he have priority in choosing his portion of the land over his brothers? Could there be any complications from his sisters in the future?
Best Answer
The brother can file a suit for partition in the civil court having jurisdiction over the property. He can seek a division according to his interpretation of the will and the father’s intention, but there is no guarantee he will get his desired share. His sisters have already relinquished their claims, so they are unlikely to cause future complications.
