My grandmother promised me her property in writing back in July 2008. However, a year later, she sold half of it to someone else. Now, after my grandfather passed away, we’ve discovered this issue. My father died when I was a baby, and the property was jointly owned by my grandmother and aunt. My aunt sold her share long ago, but she’s now claiming a part of our share. My grandmother has been paying property taxes for the past 35 years. What can I do in this situation?

Based on your situation, you may have a legal claim to the property. Your grandmother’s written promise, while not a formal legal document, could be considered evidence of an agreement. However, your aunt’s claim and the sale of half the property complicate matters. You should consult with a lawyer to assess your specific rights and options based on the details of the situation and relevant Indian laws.
