Yes, your mother is entitled to a share of her father’s property. Under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, daughters have equal inheritance rights as sons. Your father’s plan to exclude your mother is legally invalid.

My grandfather rented out our property 20 years ago without a formal agreement. We’ve been receiving rent and issuing receipts all this time. Now, the tenant has filed false cases, trying to force us to sell the property for a low price. This property holds great sentimental value for me, as my mother was deeply attached to it. I need a trustworthy legal expert to guide me on how to handle this difficult situation.

My father recently passed away, and the house is now in my mother’s name. One of my siblings is living in the house alone and conducting a business without my mother’s or our consent.

What steps can we take to resolve this situation?

Three years ago, my neighbor, a farmer, planted 100 eucalyptus trees close to the shared boundary of our fields. Now, these trees have grown tall, blocking sunlight and affecting my crops by hindering their growth and water absorption. This has resulted in a loss of nearly two acres of crops. Despite my protests, my neighbor refuses to cut the trees, claiming they are on his land. However, a recent land survey confirmed that five feet of the trees are actually on my property. My neighbor is willing to cede this five-foot strip but insists on cutting the trees. I’m not willing to let him cut them as they are now on my land, making me the rightful owner. So, who legally owns these trees? Who has the right to cut them? And if the trees were planted within ten feet of the boundary, does my neighbor have any right to claim ownership or share in the trees according to the law?

Previous Article My grandfather bought a property in Uttar Pradesh in 1966 using proper documents. He gave it to a milkman who used it to keep his buffaloes. A few years ago, we asked him to vacate, but he refused. We fought a case in court and won in 2006. We need to execute that order. However, we recently discovered that this land was acquired by the Uttar Pradesh government under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 in 1972 and handed over to an Improvement Trust. We have a copy of the notification and Land Acquisition papers, but we were unaware of this and were not informed about it until 2016. The compensation of Rs. 220 was not claimed by anyone. 1. What legal options can we pursue? 2. Can we reclaim our land based on the fact that the government did not develop this land?
