Our family, including my mother and three siblings, lives in a house owned by my grandmother. It’s divided into two parts – one for our family and the other for my grandmother, uncle, his wife, and their son. We also have a plot of land that was my grandfather’s, but there’s a dispute over it. My father passed away five years ago, leaving us with no property in our names. He had seven sisters and one brother. Now, my uncle and grandmother are asking us to leave the house and refuse to share any property. Will we have any legal claim to the property?

Under Indian law, you may have a legal claim to the house and land. Your father’s share of the property would be divided among his legal heirs, which includes you and your siblings. You can file a suit for partition and possession to claim your rightful share of the property, even if it’s not registered in your father’s name. It’s recommended to consult a lawyer to understand your specific rights and legal options.
