Reading: My father-in-law’s father left behind 150 acres of land, which he divided equally among his six sons, giving each 25 acres. The land was distributed informally, with no individual documents beyond the original registration in his name. My father-in-law wants to sell his 25 acres, but his brothers are demanding 1 acre each, a total of 5 acres, before they’ll allow the sale. What can he do to sell his land? How much money and time will it take to resolve this situation?

Your father-in-law can file a partition suit in court to legally establish his ownership of the 25 acres. The court will decide the division of the land and ownership rights, potentially resolving the dispute with his brothers. The time and cost of this process vary based on the complexity of the case and court proceedings.
