A.To give opinion, it is necessary to know about the legal heirs of your step mother and from whom she got that property. Mentally unsound person is incapable to make any contract but to prove that her medical report is needed , on the basis of which legal step can be opted but not by a stepson.

She got property of her husband(my father) from her adopted son, adoption is said illegal by court, hence she got her husbands property. What can I do I don't have medical certificate? and what if she make a sale deed before I got medical certificate.

A.Dear Client,
No person can enter a contract when he/she is of unsound mind, even if he/she is so temporarily. A contract made by a person of an unsound mind is void. Further, you must consult it to your lawyer.
Thankyou
