Property ownership Property ownership

2 years ago

Hi, I stay in a flat from 16 years. This flat is in my aunt's and grandmother name. Grandmother has 2 daughters and 4 sons. Total 6 children of my grandmother.Two of son's expired. I am grandson whose father is expired. Aunt whose name is in property has done second marriage because other son is also expired. As I(grandson)am staying in this flat from 16 years , do I(grandson) have a legal right on this property? My father expired before my grandmother.2 daughters of my grandmother i.e. my aunt's are alive(over 50 years old,married,have their married childrens). Aunt's after 40 years of marriage are now claiming on this property. In last 15 years ,I have done all maintenance and repair work. Paid all bills and staying there. Could you please let me know if I can claim full ownership on this property?

A.No. Since flat is in joint name of grandmother and aunt hence on death of grandmother half portion of flat is liable to be distributed among all legal legal heirs of your grandmother i.e. her daughter's and sons in equal proportion including your mother but only being gradson you donot have any independent ownership right or title over the flat. Your stay in flat is merely as permitted licencee only. Payment of bills etc does not constitute any ownership right in your favour.

A.Hello
The flat you are living in from 15-16 years is in your your grandfather and aunts name. That means it's a ancestral property and as a grandson you have rights in that property. You could inherit that property after yiur grandfather death by getting a legal heir certificate from the court and Non objection certificate from your Aunt.

A.Hello Sir
As the property you are staying in is in your grandfather name then it's a ancestral property and you have all rights to claim share in that property. It would be suggested to get a legal heirs certificate from the court and NOC from your aunt regarding that property.
