My two brothers and I own a house jointly, currently registered in our mother’s name. Our elder brother has left home due to some personal debts. We want to sell the house and divide the proceeds equally. Could we legally divide the property into four parts – one for each of us and one for our mother?

Yes, you can legally divide the house into four parts. Your mother, as the registered owner, can transfer her share to you and your brothers, creating four equal shares. However, since your elder brother has left home, you would need to legally ascertain his consent for the sale and division of the property.
