Under Indian law, ancestral property is subject to coparcenary rights, meaning you have a share in it. Your father’s sale without your consent could be challenged. However, the transfer to your brother’s name complicates matters, and you will need to consult a lawyer to assess your specific claim and the legal options available.

If so, how much are they entitled to, and who would be responsible for paying them?

Next Article I booked a resale flat and paid a booking amount of Rs. 2 lakhs by cheque. Due to unforeseen financial difficulties, I had to cancel the deal and requested a refund. The seller initially offered only Rs. 1 lakh. After filing a complaint with the police, he agreed to repay the full amount by February 16th. He gave me two cheques of Rs. 50,000 each, dated April 16th and May 16th, but both bounced in June 5th. Unfortunately, I was hospitalized for 1.5 months due to illness. Upon my return, the seller gave me another cheque for Rs. 25,000, which also bounced on September 14th.
