Sister's issue on father's property

Hello,

I need some suggestion which I am facing in my family. I have a love marriage and my father was opposed to that and even my sisters. We have registered our marriage in a court too. Now the issue is I am single son of my family and I have 3 sisters. 2 Got married and one is unmarried. We tried to convince my father about our marriage but he still not agree with us as my father listen from the start of my elder sister. The intension of my elder sister is to get the house on her name of divide the property between 3 sisters. My father listen to her always. I stayed away for my home aroung 15 years for studies and all. My elder sister telling to my father that ur son got married he will not take care of you but I wanted to take care of my parents but my father is too much influence with my elder sister. all members my sisters and father harrasing my mother and the reason behind that I will take home my mother and my sister can stay at my home and also she can use my fathers pension too. She is saying after marriage also I belongs to this family. To make this house i did work and i have rights on this property. As one day my father said to me please come here and devide the property as my sister told him like that and my father listen to her. I told to my father you are still alive and why you are talking like that. I am so much caring about my parents but because of my elder sister only my father not listen to me. My mother realise my sister's intesion about the property and thats why they harrase her. Please let me know what should I can do as a son. As I cant believe that sisters also can do like this. Oppose to my marriage is only for property nothing else otherwise for a single son no one father behave like this. Please suggest some solution on this.

Dear Vivek,

Assuming the property is in your father's name and is self acquired. He is free to do whatever he wants with teh same i.e he may gift/sale it. He can also leave a will giving the property to any one or more of you or none. However if he dies without a will - the property would vest in all you siblings and mother in equal respects. It is best to sort out this matter by a family mediation in a reconcilliatory manner. 


Feel free to talk!

FAMILY DISPUTES HAVE TO BE RESOLVED AMICABLY. OUTSIDERS DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WITHIN. IN CASE THE PROPERTY IS SELF AQUIRED BY YR FATHER HE HAS ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO GIVE IT TO ANYONE OR DIVIDE IT EQUALLY. THE QUESTION IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY. IS IT WORTH DIVIDING. THE ATTITUDE OF YR FATHER SEEMS TO BE POSITIVE TOWARDS U BUT NOT NEGATIVE AGAINST HIS DAUGHTERS FOR WHICH U MAY NOT CRIB. COMPLY WITH YR FATHER'S ADVICE IMMEDIATELY AND HELP HIM MAKE A WILL IN WHICH ALL OF U SHOULD BE WITNESSES AND YRSELF AS THE ADMINISTRATOR.
