No, two sisters cannot sell their 2/3 share of the flat without the consent of the third sister. Under Indian law, joint ownership requires unanimous consent for any transfer of property. Selling without the third sister’s knowledge would be considered illegal and voidable.

My family has been farming this land for over 60 years, passed down from our forefathers. We don’t have any official papers since it was received from the zamindars. However, our uncles are now claiming ownership with documents.

What can I do to protect our family’s rights to this land? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My father and his brother inherited a house in Thane from our grandfather, built around 25 years ago. We lived there for a few years before moving out due to family disagreements in 1993. Now, as the only son of my father, and with my cousin being the only son of my uncle, we want to know if we can claim a share of the house. We don’t have any property papers, but I have documents like my ration card, driving license, and passport showing that address. Can we legally claim our share of this property, and how do we go about resolving this issue? I’ve been living on rent for over two decades now, and I’m eager to find a solution.
