My father and his younger brother divided their ancestral land in 2002. In 2013, my father legally transferred a portion of this land to my name through the court. Sadly, he passed away in 2015. Now, my uncle is preventing me from selling the land and threatening legal action. I’ve been paying property taxes for the past three years. What legal options do I have to protect my ownership rights?

You have a strong legal claim to the land due to the court-sanctioned transfer in 2013 and your subsequent payment of property taxes. Your uncle’s threats are likely baseless. You can file a legal suit against him to establish your ownership and seek an injunction against his interference.
