My family is facing a complex legal issue involving property inheritance. My grandfather, who passed away recently, left behind two houses. He gave one to his eldest daughter, “A”, and the other to his three daughters, “B”, “C”, and “E”. Unfortunately, “A” has passed away, and her son, “P”, who is a lawyer, is claiming his mother’s share in the second house. He sent a person named “Z” to “C” and “E”, and “Z” convinced them to sign a document stating that my grandfather had only two daughters, “C” and “E”, and that “E” was selling his share to “C”. This document also mentions that my grandfather did not write a will. We later realized this was a trap set by “P”. We have a valid will written by my grandfather, but this document is causing major problems. Can we rectify the errors in the registration document? If we cancel the registration, what are the consequences? Can we still probate the will after these issues?

The forged document is legally invalid as it contradicts the existing will and misrepresents facts. You can challenge this document in court, seeking its cancellation. If successful, you can proceed with probate, but the process may involve legal challenges from “P”.

My father passed away in 2001 when I was just a year old. He had four siblings and six close cousins. We have ancestral land, about 35 acres on the outskirts of town, that needs to be divided equally among the eleven of us. However, a few years ago, my grandfather’s sister claimed her rights to the property and filed a case in the district court. The issue is, my uncles deliberately excluded my father, me, and my mother from the proceedings. They clearly intended to cheat us out of our rightful share. What legal steps can I take against them?

Hi, I’m in Pune and my father recently passed away. He owned 3 acres of land in Osmanabad district, but he didn’t leave a will. Now, my mother and siblings want to transfer the land to ourselves, but the Tehsildar in Osmanabad is asking for a court certificate stating we are the legal heirs. I’m confused about a few things: 1. Is this court certificate really necessary? Would birth certificates be sufficient? 2. We hired a lawyer, and after the court hearing, he said we need to pay stamp duty on the land to get the certificate. I don’t understand which certificate he applied for or why stamp duty is required. 3. What kind of certificate do we need for transferring the land? Where can I get this certificate? I’ve heard there’s a certificate that doesn’t mention property details and can be used for other things like transferring utility bills. I’m feeling really frustrated with this whole process. Can you please help me understand?

The landlord wants money for this transfer. Should I pay him? Can I transfer the house directly in my name as her son? What are the steps involved? Do I need to officially register the transfer with the government?
