My wife’s grandfather left property that was divided in 1994. Her mother and brother registered it in their names, leaving her out. Her brother passed away in 2011 and her mother in 2016. Her mother allowed her to build a house on the ground floor with the understanding her brother would build the second floor. My wife built the first floor in 1994 but her brother never built the second. Her mother wrote this in a registered will. They also had a family agreement on a stamp paper, witnessed but not registered, stating my wife could build the ground floor and her brother the second. Now, her brother’s wife and son are claiming full rights to the property. Can my wife claim any rights to this property?

Your wife has a strong claim to the property based on the registered will and the family agreement, even though it wasn’t registered. The fact that she built the ground floor in reliance on these agreements strengthens her position. However, the final decision will depend on a detailed legal analysis of the specific documents and applicable Indian laws.
