A. Dear client,
you have a legal claim over the property still. Even if the property transfers, your share in that property remains so you can always file a suit in the court of concerned jurisdiction and claim your property.

A. Dear Client,
After the husband died without leaving a Will, his undivided half share in those properties passed to his wife and mother, who are both Class I heiresses under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and thus the mother is legally entitled to claim either an undivided one-fourth share in those properties or the market value of such an undivided one-fourth share.
Thank you!

Land Acquisition
1. I have bought the land land in 2015 at a rate of 3812.5/- per square yard, the registered value of the land in the registered document is 600/- per square yard. 2. Present market value of my land
2 years ago
A. See whenever the land is acquired by government they fix up a rate for the land but the rate is almost equal to the market value (the government fixed rate, registration value) and not an arbitrary number. If they have fixed such a low value then do not accept their offer and they will be forced to increase it. If they do not do so then send a letter to the Land Acquisition Officer denying to agree the offer and sign the papers.
Letter of Administration and Legal Heir Certificate
My Father in law passed away in 2019 and had made a registered will to transfer his immovable properties as well as as other movable assets in the name of his two daughters. He had a son from his ear

A. Dear client,
If every legal heir of your father in law was aware of who would inherit the property then the court can rightfully proceed with the issuing of the letter of administration after confirming this. After issuing the letter of administration from the court in accordance with your father in law's will then no legal heir certificate will be required by the beneficiaries in order to mutate the names in the record.
Thank you.

Property Division
My father had gifted me roof of the house owned by him. I got the gift deed registered and constructed house on first floor for my family. Now after the demise of my parents my sister is demanding 50%
2 years ago
A. If you have a gift deed registered in your name then you are undoubtedly the owner of that part of the property and your sister cannot ask for any right in that. You are right that only the ground floor remains an ancestral property and that can only be divided.
