This query is : Resolved
My father through a registered gift deed has gifted his self acquired propery to my brother. Based on my knowledge, my father had brought the property 50 years back from the sale proceeds of an ancestral property along with his own savings from his govt job. Can I claim any right over the property? Given it was 50 years back, I do not have any documentary evidence to prove the money from sale of ancestral property was used for buying his self acquired property. Do I have any legal options and will the onus to prove lie on me or will it lie on my father / brother if I was to file a legal case claiming the money used for purchasing the property was from sale of ancestral property.

The property was in the name of your father, he has gifted it to your brother through registered gift deed, you have no claim on full or any part of this property.
