My mother was a only child to her parents. In the year 2001 she has gifted properties to me through gift deed. she died in march 2005. My only sister who lives the same village is well aware of this transactions. My mother gifted her all her jewelry and silver to my sister. in the year 2016 i have gifted all my properties to my wife.

I worked for Indian Airforce and after retirement I lived out of my home town due to my job commitments. since 2013 my sister started living in my village house and now she is refusing to vacate the house. in return she wants 50% of share in property.

we have gifted gold and a vacant house land. still she is not vacating the house and my agricultural lands.

what shall i do? pls provide legal guidance. thank you

A.Dear Client,
as you said that the properties are from her maternal home, she can gift those properties to anyone of her wish. well, The gift deed can certainly be questioned in the court of law by filling a suit for such declaration. However, it will be challenged only if you are able to establish that the execution of the deed was not as per the wish of the donor or was executed under misrepresentation, fraud etc. your sister cannot claim that property now as your mother has gifted that you through a gift deed.

A.Dear Sir,
It cannot be challenged by the daughter after three years of execution of Gift Deed because it is a document known to everybody and copies of such document available to anybody. She may file and challenge but at the end your sister will lose her case.

A.To give opinion, it is necessary to know whether your mother gifted that property to you through Registered Gift Deed or not . It is also necessary to know in whose name the property is at present recorded.
