Your mother has legal rights to the family home as a surviving spouse under the Hindu Succession Act. You can file a civil suit to challenge the eviction, seeking an injunction to prevent further eviction and ultimately, secure her rightful ownership and possession of the property.

My lawyer says 18 years of Extract Copy (EC) is enough to confirm if the land is legally granted. Is that correct? Should I still ask for copies from the past 18 years?

My father passed away in January 2013, and I’m the legal heir to his property. He had a joint bank account with his daughter-in-law (my eldest brother’s wife) opened in 2009 under an “Either or Survivor” mandate at a major private bank. All his income, mostly house rent, was deposited into this account. I’m wondering about the legal rights of heirs to such accounts. Can we claim the money in the account or request to see the account statements, fixed deposits, etc.?

I’m looking to buy a 1700 sq ft plot (30×60). It’s part of a layout approved around 25 years ago. The seller bought it in 1989 from the original landowner, who gave the power of attorney to someone else. The seller got the ‘patta’ in 2010 and has the original sale deed and a copy of the power deed, but no original or copy of the mother deed. He’s owned the plot since 1989 and there’s no record of any transaction since then in the EC. Is this a safe purchase? Would I be able to get a home loan for this property?
