My mother-in-law gifted our family home to my husband in 2013. The gift deed was properly registered in his name. But, three years later, she took 5 lakhs from my brother-in-law and sold the same property to him. How is it possible for the property to be registered in someone else’s name after a gift deed, and can the person who gifted the property sell it later?

In India, a registered gift deed transfers ownership. While a donor can generally dispose of their property freely, a registered gift deed can’t be revoked. The subsequent “sale” to your brother-in-law is invalid as your husband holds the legal title. This transaction is likely fraudulent and could be challenged legally.
