My father, before passing away, bought a property in my and my brother’s names. Now, my mother and sister are seeking a share in it. The sale deed, index 2, and 7/12 extract are only in my and my brother’s names. Since my father paid for the property, will my sister and mother get a share? Or will it be divided only between me and my brother as it was in our names from the beginning? My father didn’t leave a will, he simply bought it in our names. Can you explain what will happen in this situation?

In this situation, your sister and mother may have a claim to the property. Since your father paid for the property but registered it in your and your brother’s names, it is likely considered a gift. However, the court might consider the intent behind the gift and the family’s overall financial situation to decide if a share should be given to your sister and mother.
