Reading: My father gifted my brother and me two properties he earned himself eight months ago. We also divided an ancestral property equally between ourselves, my parents, and my brother. Sadly, last month there was a tragic incident in Muscat where my father, mother, brother, and his family were robbed and killed. I am deeply distressed and want to return to Muscat. However, I am unsure about the legal implications of selling the gifted property, which is jointly owned by my brother and me. I also wonder if I can sell my share of the ancestral property and take the money to Dubai to invest. Please advise on the best course of action. Thank you.

In India, you are free to sell your share of the gifted property as it is jointly owned by you and your brother. However, selling your share of the ancestral property could be complicated as it involves multiple inheritors. Consult a legal professional for advice on navigating the legal requirements and potential inheritance issues before making any decisions.
