Agricultural Land Inheritance
5 years ago
Hello Sir/Madam,
My Mother (58yrs) has three brothers and all are in good terms. But my grandfather sold 7 acres of agricultural land after the demise of my GrandMother in their native Town that was supposedly kept for my Mother . The sale has happened 14 years back with all the 3 signatures of my Uncles (my mother's brothers), but not my Mothers. There is no signature of my Mother or Father. Now my GrandFather is feeling very bad as he couldn't give my Mother her rightful property, whereas all my Uncles got their share of property. My grandfather is thinking of filing a petition but again we are afraid where he and my uncles will fall into trouble as my GrandFather is 87 years old. Please help us here to know if there is any chance for my Mother to claim this property, if so how to move forward without creating a trouble for my GrandFather and Uncles. Thank you very much in advance.

If you are a Hindu, then you will be governed by the The Hindu Succession Act,1956 with State Amendments ( please see the State you belong and if any amendment has been made by your Government/Legislature) along with Schedule ( See Section 8 )Heirs in Class I and Class II. The governing principle is source of property( whether Ancestral property or self acquired property).Since it requires the services of a professional, it will be appreciated if you get a good Advocate through Vidhikarya.com who can sort out your problem.

If it is ancestral property then it is ok. Otherwise your grandfather must come forward to file the suit for cancellation but limitation is over. It is a very weak case.
