My grandfather received a property from his father in 1964, documented on a simple agreement with signatures. This property includes a shop and three flats. My mother purchased one flat, and two uncles received flats as gifts. One uncle also received another property he earned himself. Four years ago, my grandfather verbally gave me the shop. Now, he’s planning to sell it. We have no other income, and there are seven grandsons (five cousins included). On what grounds can my father or I file a legal case against my grandfather to prevent the shop’s sale and obtain a court order to stop it?

Your father or you could file a legal case based on the doctrine of “estoppel” by oral agreement, claiming your grandfather’s verbal gift of the shop and your reliance on that promise. You can also argue that the shop is ancestral property, giving you a share in it. However, the outcome will depend on the specific details of the case and the court’s interpretation of the law.
