Me and my sister were adopted by our parents and our real father was real brother of our father who adopted us and our real mother was sister of our mother who adopted, sisters adoption got registered but mine was not done as my real mother father did not had any son apart from me, but both of us were brought up by our parents who adopted us, I am elder than my sister but I am still using my real father and mother name on all my documents. My father constructed a 2 storey building in village so that he and my mother can get rent and live rest of life safely. But my father passed away without a will and the house in which we live was bought by my father. Now my sister who is also married for past 5 years is asking 50% share in everything ( the house where we live, cash at home, property in village, even the car which is in fathers name and also wants 50% share from the rent). My mother told her she will get the share but not until she is alive, but she wants it right away, right now. She became to rude, abuses and do not call mummy as mummy infact addresses her with her name. Kindly suggest what options we have if mother is still alive

Though you are also adopted along with your sister, your natural parents' names were in your records. But did your adoption done as per Hindu rites and customs or not? The registration of the Adoption deed is only optional. So you and your sister have rights over the property of your natural parents.

After completion of adoption formalities the minor (adopted) looses his / her right in the property of his / her biological parents.
