As the youngest son, I built our family home and even helped my parents financially, giving them around 40 lakhs. My elder brother hasn’t contributed much. Now, my mother wants to gift me the house, which is registered in her name. Do I need my brother’s signature for this? Does he have any claim on the property under Hindu law?

Under Hindu law, your mother has the right to gift the house to you, but your brother may have a claim on the property as a coparcener. His claim will depend on the nature of your mother’s ownership and if the house was acquired during her marriage. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to ensure a smooth and legal transfer of the property.
