Rights of other Family Members on House Property Rights of other Family Members on House Property

3 years ago

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to introduce myself as Sathish from Chennai, TamilNadu. I am raising this question to clarify my doubt on few things regarding the will on our House. We are a family(Hindu) of Four members (Father, Mother, Daughter (Elder) and Son (Youngest). My father passed away 5 years ago, he written his will and registered that will. As per his will, his house is for his wife (Mother) after his death and she can live and do whatever she want with the house but if she want to sell the house then signature of Daughter and Son also should be there (My father did this to ensure not to sell the House Forcefully (or) by any compulsion).

Now the problem is, Daughter of this family is feeding stray cats inside the house premises and the cats (Almost around 10 to 15 cats) are roaming inside the house and do the littering(Motion and Urine) all over the house like terrace, portico, Veranda even ground floor of the House. If the other member of the family ask the daughter to take care of Cat litter, she is not cleaning or taking care of it. Even if she is clearing, she is doing it after a long delay (like Weeks), till that time whole house stinks. Now the other member of the family asked the daughter to take the cats to Animal Foster home (or) any animal shelter (or) not to feed the cat inside the House, she is not bothered and picking a fight with the other members. We would like to know what all the options, other members is having to come out of this weird situation. Do we have any option to give her warning not to feed stray cat inside the house compound and to take care of cat litters inside the house premises on time. Please advise us how to proceed further to come out of this situation and make our house free of strays.

Thanking you in Advance.

A.Hi,
Several NGOs have been created solely for stray animal rehabilitation, you can contact some of these in the daughter's absence and have them find these cats alternative homes. You can also complain to the municipal animal control department. Alternatively, you can purchase cat deterrent devices online to see if they have any effect, or get a natural repellent like a pet dog.

A.Hi,
You can contact local animal welfare NGOs and let them know you have several cats that can be adopted. They will then come and take them away to find them other homes. Alternatively, you can contact your local animal control department.
