In India, the legal entitlement to property is determined by inheritance laws. Your aunt’s claim depends on factors like your grandfather’s will, whether he owned the flat solely or jointly, and applicable succession laws in the state. Consulting a lawyer specializing in property and inheritance matters is crucial to understand your specific situation.

Previous Article My family is facing a nightmare in Patna. We’ve been battling two false cases (302, 307) for over 25 years, with no FIR or medical evidence to support them. One case has a witness who’s no longer available, and the other has been stuck in court for three years awaiting witness testimony.

My parents are unwell from all the stress, and I desperately want this ordeal to end. I’m also worried if this person might be filing other false cases against us. What should I do to get justice and bring this whole situation to a close?
