My late grand father had three sons.They were 'R' , 'L' & ' 'Y'.(All of them died before 1975) They received their share of agricultural land from my late grand father. 'R' & 'L' disposed off the land of their share. But 'Y's wife since she was a widow, the 14 acres of land was with her since 1955 till Jan 1995 (she died in Jan 1995). Till today the land is tilled by the tenants (KUL in marathi).
In 2007 we, ie 3 sons & wife of 'L' applied for the ownership of the land since we were the only legal heirs ('waras' in marathi)of the said land. We got our names registered on 7/12 (Saat-Bara) papers. Now we are in court for Full ownership ('Kabja' in marathi).
In this period grand daughter of 'R' applied to the court that she is also a legal heir in the same property (Her parents died in 1995). Till today we did not know her where abouts since our families were not in contact with each other & living in diffrent cities. She got married & divorced & married again.
We do not have any objection of she being a legal heir as we are but we only say that she should share equal percentage of land as we will be sharing. But in the application to the Prant Saheb, she has claimed that she is owns 50 % of the property.
Is her claim correct ?
Can twice married lady can claim stake in the property ?

YOU MAY SIGN A JOINT APPLICATION AND FAMILY UNDERSTANDING AND CONCENT FOR HER AGREED SHARE IN JOINT PROPERTY.IF ALL PARTIES ARE CONCENTING AND SIGNING THEN THE SAID UNDERSTANDING BE SIGNED BY ALL AND WITNESSED AND DULY NOTORISED AND SUBMITED TO THE LAND RECORDS AUTHORITIES.YOU WILL SUCCEED.
BUT IN CASE THERE IS NO COMPROMISE BETWEEN ALL LEGAL HEIRS THEN A CIVIL SUIT IS TO BE FILED IN CIVIL COURTS FOR PARTITION PLEASE NOTE.GOOD LUCK.
