Dear Sir/ Madam,
I have an ancestral property is Kerala, Pathanamthitta . It has no will. It belongs to my deceased grandfather. We are christians. As all his children are deceased, there had been no serious initiatives in the past to come together and split the property. The property tax is still being paid in my grandfather s name.
My cousins( the deceased s great grand children) live in different countries and are not bothered about the property maintenance nor sale. The property documents are handwritten in old malayalam.
As a grand daughter, i want to sell this property atleast my share as I continue to pay taxes for the property.There is absolutely no co-operation from any of the other grand children. No effort , but want big money from the sale of property. No one is ready to write a power of attorney too.
Need guidance on:
Can I enjoy my ancestral wealth?
1. Process for changing my grandfathers name from the tax receipt and adding my name.
2. Since I have been paying the tax for the last few years, can I claim the property
3. Can I sell the property?
4. Can I atleast split the property and sell my share alone?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Smitha
