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.
