Grandmother's Property-Hindu Grandmother's Property-Hindu

10 months ago

My maternal grandmother has three children. She died in 2000 without a will of her purchased property. My Mother died in 2013 and maternal grandfather died in 2017. In 2022, my maternal aunt and uncle sold the property to a third person without informing me. Now my question is if I claim my portion now will I get 1/4 or 1/3 portion?

A.Dear Client,

In the case of the Self-acquired property of your maternal grandmother which she left intestate, all the surviving legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the said property. So your maternal aunt and uncle can not sell or transfer the share of your mother to a third party and in the absence of an order of partition of said undivided property, You being a surviving legal of your deceased mother can claim the share of your mother in the said property by filing a civil suit for partition of the said property and cancellation of Deed of Sale executed outrightly by your maternal aunt and uncle. You can also serve a legal notice to your maternal aunt and uncle before filing the civil suits in the Court. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps. . In case you need our assistance for serving legal notice or filing a civil suit before the concerned Court, you may get in touch with our legal team with all your relevant papers.
