My grandfather had bought some properties in Kolkata during the 40s and 50s.

He died in 1979, and his 4 sons ( my father & 3 uncles ) have also passed away , ( between 1984 & 2015 )

During the life time of our grand father the properties were never divided and he did not leave any will.

During the life time of his sons the properties were never divided and now we the grand children wish to divide all the properties amongst us -- by selling all 4 properties.

All the properties are in the same area in Kolkata ,( Tangra ) but we do not have any document. One property is a single floor building , which is occupied by the family. 3 Properties are lands, occupied by 3 different tenants, who are operating factories and are paying rent . Since we do not have any Deeds or any documents , how do we proceed to find the same ?

Also how can we proceed for property division , without any conflicts amongst us ( as there is lack of trust amongst each other ) , once we find the find the documents , ( if its available in Municipal / Government --records.) ?

Where can we find the records of the properties and how to get the Documents /Deeds ?

Would prefer a Lawyer in Kolkata who can guide us.


We shall highly appreciate your help and guidance.
Thank you .

A.Hi,
Since this is the ancestral property of an undivided joint family, you all have equal right over the property. After you divide it among yourselves, it will cease to be an ancestral property.
You can go to court for such division.
