My in-laws owned a shop. My father-in-law registered a property in my mother-in-law’s name in 1988. They had 5 children at the time, but no consent was obtained from any of them. Both my in-laws have passed away. Last year, in 2015, my mother-in-law transferred the shop to my brother-in-law and his son, half each, without any consent from the other children. Can we challenge this property transfer in court?

Yes, you can challenge the property transfer in court. Under Indian law, a property transfer without consent from all legal heirs is considered invalid. As you and your siblings are legal heirs, you have grounds to file a suit for partition and challenge the transfer based on lack of consent.

My grandfather, father, and uncle were wrongly evicted from our property. They submitted copies of the eviction notice to the village headman and the police station, and even published an advertisement in the newspaper. My grandfather had also prepared a legal document, transferring the property to me and my siblings, with my mother as the caretaker. However, after his death, my father and uncles used threats and intimidation to take all the documents from my mother and bribed officials at the court to register the property in their names.

An elderly man bought a house in his daughter’s name from his first marriage and took a loan in her name. He later married for the fourth time in 2010 and things haven’t been good between them. The man, with his daughter, tried to evict his wife from the house after making a will in favor of his daughter. The wife filed a police complaint and got a court order allowing her to stay. She now lives on the ground floor while the man and his married daughter occupy the first floor. Can the wife challenge the will and claim the house and other assets for herself?

My mother purchased a plot of land in a society 15 years ago. She built her home there and has been living in it for the past 14 years. Back then, a JDA approval letter wasn’t mandatory. However, now, the rules have changed and a JDA approval is needed. When my mother applied, she discovered a planned road cutting through her land and received a notice that her plot is in a “Suvidha Khetra” and won’t be granted a JDA patta. The JDA made this decision without informing us. What legal steps can my mother take to get her patta?

Hi, I’m in Pune and my father recently passed away. He owned 3 acres of land in Osmanabad district, but he didn’t leave a will. Now, my mother and siblings want to transfer the land to ourselves, but the Tehsildar in Osmanabad is asking for a court certificate stating we are the legal heirs. I’m confused about a few things: 1. Is this court certificate really necessary? Would birth certificates be sufficient? 2. We hired a lawyer, and after the court hearing, he said we need to pay stamp duty on the land to get the certificate. I don’t understand which certificate he applied for or why stamp duty is required. 3. What kind of certificate do we need for transferring the land? Where can I get this certificate? I’ve heard there’s a certificate that doesn’t mention property details and can be used for other things like transferring utility bills. I’m feeling really frustrated with this whole process. Can you please help me understand?

My father and mother passed away without leaving a will. We are four siblings, three brothers and myself, the sister. We are all married. My older brother’s wife managed to get one of our parents’ properties transferred to her name without our knowledge or consent. She apparently used a fake will to convince the authorities and now we are stuck. What can we do to reclaim our rightful inheritance?
