My cousin recently performed the last rites for his grandfather’s brother. Sadly, his grandfather has now passed away, and his grandmother is living with him. He’s unsure if his grandmother has the legal right to sell their family property without informing him or getting his signature. Can anyone provide some advice?

In India, a grandmother would need the consent of all legal heirs, including your cousin, to sell ancestral property. Your cousin should consult a lawyer to understand his legal rights and ensure proper procedures are followed before any sale.

Now I want to cancel the booking and get a full refund. The builder is asking for the original documents before refunding. Is this safe? I’m worried that if I hand over my agreement and receipts, they might refuse to acknowledge the purchase and deny my refund. Should I trust them? If not, what are my options to get my money back?

Now, my grandfather is no longer alive and his sons, my uncles, are planning to renovate some old shops without our consent. Half of the land is in my father’s name, but the shops were always run by my uncles. With the renovations starting, we want our share of the property. Please advise on what we should do.
