This query is : Resolved
Hi Sirs/Mams, My name is Wasif and I'm from Hyderabad. I belong to a Muslim family. I'm my dad's first son from his first marriage which didn't last long. He married my step mother and had a biological son. She had a son with her first marriage who stays with us. This completes our family.
Please clarify on these questions:
- My Dad brought me a flat when i was young and it wasn't disclosed to other family members at that time. The property is registered on my name. The question is can my brothers or step mom claim any of its value.?
- What is the correct way of property division of property among us. Knowing the fact that there are several other properties divided among us.
Thank you in advance!

The immovable property (irrespective who paid for purchasing it and when) duly registered in your name is your sole property and no one has any claim on it.
As far division of the other properties of your father is concerned, the Muslims Shariat law for Shias and Sunnis exists as you have not clarified which sect you belong the exact law applicable to the division of the inherited property of your father cannot be discussed.
