Indian law does not automatically grant a larger share of property based on financial contributions. While courts consider contributions when dividing property, a son’s payment of a home loan doesn’t guarantee a larger share, especially if there’s no formal agreement or documentation.

My father, before passing away, bought a property in my and my brother’s names. Now, my mother and sister are seeking a share in it. The sale deed, index 2, and 7/12 extract are only in my and my brother’s names. Since my father paid for the property, will my sister and mother get a share? Or will it be divided only between me and my brother as it was in our names from the beginning? My father didn’t leave a will, he simply bought it in our names. Can you explain what will happen in this situation?

My mother-in-law owned some land registered in her name in 1996. While her name was later updated, the original documents still reflect her correct name.

I bought a plot in 1998 but haven’t registered it yet. I’ve built a house on part of it, but another part is still empty. The plot is included in the gram panchayat records, I have a house number, and I pay taxes, water bills, and electricity bills. I have all the original documents from the previous owner and a sale agreement on stamp paper from 1998. I also have an ownership certificate from the gram panchayat. How can I register the plot and get a bank loan? Could the previous owner have any legal claims? If they filed a case, would it be valid?

Now, I seek to reclaim at least 30 acres and a home in Amir Mahal. Our family, tracing our lineage back 33 generations, believes we have a strong claim.
