Your father’s sisters may have a claim to the ancestral property, depending on the specific laws of the state where the property is located and the terms of your grandmother’s transfer. You should consult with a lawyer to understand your rights and options, as well as the rights of your father’s sisters.

My father passed away, leaving behind a single-room apartment for us four brothers. The society transferred it to our mother’s name. Sadly, my two younger brothers passed away, and then my mother passed away last September. As the second son, I live separately after my marriage. Now, my elder brother is trying to claim the entire property. He has my aunt’s support, who lives there. While she verbally confirmed that I’m included in the nominee list, she refuses to provide any written proof. Whenever I bring this up, she either ignores me or gets upset. What legal options do I have if they refuse to acknowledge my share in the property?

My brother bought a flat in 1900, putting the title in his wife’s name but using his own money. He signed all the original documents.

What are my brother’s legal rights in this situation? He still has all the original documents. We are Hindus/Jains.

Neighbors, We’ve noticed that the new construction behind our home seems to be encroaching on our property line. Our house is quite old and was built according to all Nagar Nigam regulations. Unfortunately, the new building’s proximity is causing some damage to our home. We’ve tried to speak with the builders, but they’ve been avoiding direct communication. Is there anything we can do to stop them from encroaching further? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My father passed away leaving behind a property he had acquired himself. My mother has also passed away. I have a younger brother and we both have families living on the property.

Could you please explain what the law in India says about a Christian widow’s rights in her deceased father-in-law’s property? Are there any specific sections of the law that apply to this situation?

My aunt passed away, leaving her DDA freehold property to be split equally between my mother and her daughter. Her brother is managing the property while it’s being sold. A potential buyer has applied for a loan, and the bank is asking for a legal heir certificate and property mutation. We have a will, so do we still need these documents? And since it’s a freehold property, is mutation actually required?
