My grandfather had two marriages. My father was born from his first marriage, but his mother passed away soon after. He later remarried, and I have three uncles and an aunt from this marriage. My father had a strained relationship with my grandfather and stepmother after his second marriage, so he lived separately with my mother. Sadly, my father passed away in 1996, followed by my mother in 2005. I also don’t have a good relationship with my grandfather. He inherited property from my great-grandfather. What are my rights to this ancestral property?

As the son of your grandfather’s first marriage, you are a legal heir to the ancestral property inherited by your grandfather under the Hindu Succession Act. However, your share will be divided among your grandfather’s legal heirs, including your uncles, aunt, and possibly your stepmother. You should consult a lawyer to understand the specifics of your inheritance rights and the division process.

Can the court force my brother to sign the papers? Or, can the house be registered in my mother’s name without needing my brother’s signature?

My father passed away in January 2013, and I’m the legal heir to his property. He had a joint bank account with his daughter-in-law (my eldest brother’s wife) opened in 2009 under an “Either or Survivor” mandate at a major private bank. All his income, mostly house rent, was deposited into this account. I’m wondering about the legal rights of heirs to such accounts. Can we claim the money in the account or request to see the account statements, fixed deposits, etc.?
