My father passed away without a will, leaving behind a property. My siblings and I received 6 shares, with a larger portion coming to me due to their love and affection. My two brothers received only their initial shares, while others didn’t contribute further. How can I get this property registered in my name legally, given the family dynamics and ancestral nature of the property?

In India, if a property is inherited without a will, it’s governed by the Hindu Succession Act. To legally register the property in your name, you’ll need to obtain a legal heir certificate and complete the necessary legal procedures, including a transfer of ownership. However, the “love and affection” factor is not a legally recognized basis for unequal inheritance in this situation, and your brothers may have grounds to challenge the distribution if they believe it’s unfair. You should consult a lawyer to ensure all legal requirements are met and avoid potential disputes.
