ancestral property

In the absence of a will, can a brother who has two sisters from birth, transfer ownership of an apartment (parental property) in Mumbai without the consent of his sisters using the channel of a newspaper advertisement(timed to ensure they would not be able to know of it)

What reprieve do the the sisters have if this is later bought to their attention by a well wisher?

My question is I have a survey no. which was tranfered on my great grand father to gran father during 1954,then from my grand father to father during 1963 and from my father to me during 1987. whether this property is ancestral property?

"v s parma" :

WELL, Well, well, I would say the following (pun intended)

1. IF you consider your great grand father as your ancester, THEN the property brought by your great grand father, will today be considered as "ancestral property".

The same applies for your grand father, your father too, that is if you consider them as your "ancestors"

NOWADAYS, the current generation does not consider anybody as any ancestor and whatever family property they can lay claim on is considered as their own personal acquired property.
