My mother passed away a year ago, leaving behind an ancestral property that she received from her father. Seven years ago, this property was gifted to one of my brothers without my knowledge. I’m a widow living with my daughter and want to understand if I have any legal grounds to claim a share in the property. Could you please offer your advice on this matter?

As you were unaware of the gift and your mother passed away a year ago, you may have grounds to challenge the gift under Indian law. However, the success of your claim depends on several factors, including the validity of the gift deed and the nature of the ancestral property. Consult a lawyer to assess your specific case and legal options.

Next Article Two sisters and their brother jointly purchased a flat in Thane in 2003 and took possession in 2004. The brother was employed and financially contributing, while the sisters were not. To help cover expenses, one sister transferred money to her brother’s account. The other sister, unable to earn, also contributed to the flat’s installments, with the money transferred from her sister. Roughly, the brother and one sister contributed equally towards the flat’s payments. However, disagreements arose between the siblings, leading the sisters to file a legal suit in 2015 seeking ownership rights and a court order preventing the brother from interfering with their possession of the flat. They are currently residing in the flat, and one sister is recognized as a co-owner alongside the brother. Can the court grant an injunction against the brother, and if so, on what legal basis? What are the grounds for declaring ownership rights in this situation? Relevant legal precedents would be appreciated.
