In India, a flat can be registered solely in the wife’s name even with other legal heirs, provided all legal heirs agree and provide No Objection Certificates. This allows for transfer of the deceased’s property based on mutual consent, adhering to inheritance laws.

In 1991, I bought a plot from a real estate company that owned land across two neighbouring villages in different districts of the same state. The company provided a sale deed for a share of the land in one village and handed over possession of my plot. However, I didn’t realize then that my plot might be partially located within the land of the other village. Eight years later, in 1999, the company dissolved, and one of their partners, who had a stake in the other village’s land (including roads and parks), claimed that my plot was actually his and sold it to someone else. What legal steps should I take to get my plot back?

My family has been running a joint business since 1948. In 1964, my father bought a house using income from the family business. My grandfather passed away in 1966. The house was initially registered in my uncle’s name through a power of attorney, and then transferred to my father. A dispute arose in 1972 and was settled through an award in 1973, allocating the house to my father. He challenged the award in court but later withdrew the case in 2007. My question is: does this house fall under ancestral property? Does the pooled family property also constitute ancestral property? Can I claim a share in this property and if so, could I seek a stay order to prevent its sale until my claim is settled?
