Reading: My father and his brother inherited a house in Thane from our grandfather, built around 25 years ago. We lived there for a few years before moving out due to family disagreements in 1993. Now, as the only son of my father, and with my cousin being the only son of my uncle, we want to know if we can claim a share of the house. We don’t have any property papers, but I have documents like my ration card, driving license, and passport showing that address. Can we legally claim our share of this property, and how do we go about resolving this issue? I’ve been living on rent for over two decades now, and I’m eager to find a solution.

You can legally claim your share of the house as a legal heir of your father, who inherited it from your grandfather. However, the lack of property papers might make proving ownership challenging. You can initiate a legal process to establish your ownership through a court case, presenting your documents as evidence and seeking a partition of the property. A lawyer specializing in property matters can help navigate this process.
