My father gifted our family land to my sister and me while he was ill. After his passing, I paid my sister her share and legally transferred the entire property into my name. However, she’s now claiming ownership in court, even though I have the original documents. How can I resolve this situation and ensure the property remains mine?

You should present the original gift deed and the transfer deed to the court. You should also provide proof of payment to your sister for her share of the land. The court will consider these documents and evidence to determine the rightful ownership of the property.

My grandfather passed away leaving ancestral land in Dwarahat, Almora, Uttarakhand. The land records show all inheritors, including myself. My grandfather had four sons, all deceased. We, his 12 grandsons, are now the rightful heirs. The property is divided into separate plots across the Tehsil. My share is 12.5%. While the family divided the property amongst themselves, it was never officially registered. Now, one cousin, holding a 4.2% share, has begun selling land in a prime location without consulting the rest of the family. He sold two plots originally allotted to my father during the informal partition. I protested this sale but was told by the Tehsildar that any shareholder can sell their land without needing consent from others, as long as it’s within their allocated share. Is this legal? How can I safeguard my portion of the land from further sales? Is it possible for me to register my share of the plots in my name?

What legal steps can I take to address this situation?

My grandfather, born in the 1920s, divided his property among his sons in 1965. He received a house and land, which he later sold before 1985. He had two sons and two daughters, all married by 1983. My father, his second son, cared for him and my grandmother from 1985 until his passing in 2000. In 2002, my grandfather, then 80 years old, signed a deed giving his deceased son’s children, aged 25 and 30, the right to care for him and my grandmother. My grandfather passed away in 2010. In 2011, my grandfather’s other son and two daughters filed a suit to divide the remaining property, including the house. My aunts took my grandmother with them, claiming a share of the house for themselves. They argue for an equal share. Is the 2002 deed my grandfather signed valid?
