My mother inherited a house from her father. She has two sisters. One of her sister’s sons has been living in the house since childhood and believes it’s his rightful inheritance. Now, my mother wants to divide the property equally, but her sister is refusing to share and vacate our portion. We don’t have any official documents for the property. What are our options, and how long could this legal process take in India?

Your mother’s sister’s son’s claim is not valid as he has no legal inheritance rights to the property. Your mother can file a partition suit in a civil court to divide the property equally with her sisters. The legal process can take several years in India depending on the complexity of the case and the workload of the court.
