You likely have a claim to the ancestral property as the son of your father. Under Indian law, you inherit a share of the property as an heir. You should consult a lawyer specializing in property law to assess your specific rights and guide you on the next steps to establish your claim and potentially recover your share of the property.

I rented a flat in Somanath Apartment in May 2013. The owner bought it in November 2012. In April 2015, KSFC came to the apartment and put up a possession notice. The builder hadn’t repaid a loan taken in February 2006. The builder had sold the flat to another builder in February 2011 without telling KSFC. KSFC registered the loan against the property in May 2013. They didn’t do anything for seven years before that. Now they’re saying the loan was for Gauri Apartment. Can KSFC take possession of the flat? What are my rights, and who can I file a case against?

My cousin, who served in the CRPF, named his ex-wife and mother as beneficiaries in his will. Now, his young widow, who’s only 25 and works in government service, is claiming 70% of his assets. She has no children and won’t live with his family, so she won’t help his elderly parents. Is it possible for her to get half the assets even though he didn’t nominate her? If so, why? Could you explain this?

My grandmother’s father owned properties passed down through generations. After 2005, my uncles started selling these properties. Both my grandmother and grandfather passed away before 1980. There was no official division of the property during their lifetime. All the grandsons are selling the property and refusing to give anything to the granddaughters. Can my mother claim her share? How does the recent Supreme Court ruling by Justices Anil R Dave and Adarsh K Goel impact this situation? Some of the properties were registered in the grandsons’ names in the 1990s after the death of my grandparents, and not all grandsons are included in these deeds.

Next Article My husband and I have been married for a while now, and we live separately. Sadly, my mother-in-law passed away last year. My husband regularly visits his parents’ home, where his three brothers and their wives live with his father. One brother is very close to my husband and often asks for financial help. He also tries to persuade my husband to leave me. This has been an issue since the beginning of our marriage. Even when we lived together with the extended family, I noticed a close relationship between my husband and his brother’s wife that I don’t feel comfortable discussing. Even after separating, my husband still spends most of his money and time with his family and doesn’t seem to care about me. Is there any way I can expose this behavior? Can I file a legal case against my husband’s brother, his wife, and my father-in-law for supporting him in this?
