My three sisters and I, along with my brother, are now US and Canadian citizens. Two of us were born in Bhopal. Does Indian law allow us to inherit this land?

Yes, Indian law allows you to inherit the land, regardless of your current citizenship. You are your grandfather’s legal heirs, and your father’s migration to Pakistan doesn’t affect your inheritance rights. Your place of birth and current citizenship are irrelevant in this case.

My father passed away six to seven months ago. I’m the nominee on most of his bank accounts, but my sisters have the bank documents. We’re not sure if he left a will as his locker hasn’t been opened yet. Should I claim the entire amount as the nominee or should we reach an agreement with my sisters? If I claim the amount, could they challenge it later? The total amount is approximately 60 lakhs. What’s the best way to proceed?

My grandfather owned property in Bangalore, but we’ve lost the paperwork. Some relatives have sold parts of the land without our knowledge, even though we have a claim. How can we find all the properties registered in his name and what steps are needed to claim our rightful share?

My father purchased a plot of land, around 150 square yards, nine years ago. We paid the price in three installments, with the agreement that the original documents would be handed over after the final payment. However, after the last installment, the seller claimed the documents were lost. He continued this for a few months and then vanished to a different city, ignoring our calls. We later discovered that the land was originally allotted by the state government to a government employee, who then sold it to the person we bought from. This government employee still holds the original documents and recently sold the land again, making a General Power of Attorney (GPA) for the new buyer. We only have a signed document from the government employee and his wife. How can we legally claim ownership of the land, considering the seller has disappeared and the land was sold twice?

My builder in Noida has asked for the final 60% payment for my flat bought under a 40:60 payment plan. However, they haven’t given me possession yet, and the Occupancy Certificate (OC) hasn’t been issued. They’re promising possession and the OC after I pay, but I’m worried because I chose the 40:60 plan to avoid this risk. They’re also threatening penalties if I don’t pay. What are my options? Should I send a legal notice or go to the consumer forum/Noida Authority? Will I have to pay penalties if I don’t pay the final amount? Can the builder demand the final payment without offering possession or the OC? I’m really concerned.

My grandfather lived in a humble mud house in a village near Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh. He had five daughters and one son, my father. After he passed away, my grandmother made an agreement in 2014 to transfer the house to me. She gave each of my aunts 10,000 rupees and the agreement, signed by all my aunts, is in my possession. I demolished the old house and am building a new one on the same site, which is currently under construction. My father resides in the house. Recently, after my grandmother passed away, my aunts have changed their minds and are demanding a share of the property. What should I do in this situation?
