Can father divide his land according to his wish? Can father divide his land according to his wish?

2 years ago

My father has divided our ancestral land according to his wish. He has divided the land into 4 parts. 3 parts are for me and my brothers and 1 part for my mother. In the papers, it is written that after my mother's demise her land will be under my brother's son (my father's grandchild). Is this possible or ancestral land should be divided equally among children and wife?

A.Dear Sir,
If it is ancestral property you will get birth right as such father cannot divide the land as per his whims and fancies. Better you file a partition suit claiming your share and thus prevent him from proceeding further in dividing the land which is ancestral property.

A.hi
The ancestral property must be divided equally among all the legal heirs as per the Hindu Law. Therefore you have complete right to ask for equal share in the ancestral property.

A.If it is the ancestral land then your father is wrong to divide the land in that way as the ancestral property must be divided equally to all legal heirs as all of them are coparcerners as per the Hindu law.
