This query is : Resolved
My grandfather expired before 2005, and my father expired in 2016. Both of them dint leave any will against a property. It's in the name of my grandfather and father jointly. Among my grandmother(alive), mother, me, and sister. how would the property split happen? Also, can my grandmom register/sell the property without anyone else's signature?
Follow-up question on top! Since my father and grandfather passed away, House tax receipts are changed in the name of my grandmother from 2017-18. she also collected the Gramakantam certificate from the Panchayat office. Using the above 2 documents she sold the property to a 3rd party without my Family's concern. When I looked through the Certfiedcopy certificate its mentioned as the property is passed on to my grandmother from ancestors whereas in the original documents which I have it's mentioned as self-acquired. The sub-registrar response was since she has submitted both house tax receipt and Gramakantam certificate, Two documents would be enough, and legal heirs signatures aren't necessary. What can be done in my current situation? is proceeding legally via court the only option?

Consult lawyer with the documents for opinion and further process.

Property was in the name of your Grandfather and father. After your grandfather his share in the property would be inherited by all his legal heirs including your grandmother and your father.
Your grandmother had the right to sell her share only and not the share of your father and the property held by your father as co-owner.
House tax receipt is not the document of title of the property.
You should challenge the sale deed. Discuss in detail with local lawyer.

The sale deed stated to have been executed by your grand mother is without authority from LRs of your father, illegal and invalid, get it cancelled.
It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation/ analyses of facts / documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
