Hi,
Need a advice on course of action I have to take to claim on our ancestral property as detailed below.
1) Property: there are 2 piece of property in Satara city of Maharashtra, a) A building which was rebuilt some 30 years ago by my father in place of our old house. b) a open city plot neighbouring the first.
2) This was came suceeded as Great great grandfather, then Great grandfather, then garndfather, and now has title on my father's name. So speaking in terms of generation it is my 4 th generation.
3) Since till date there was no legal issue arised and none of dead forefathers wrote a will, it naturally transferred to sons name resulting final name of my father who is alive.
4) I parted away from my family in late 2009 taking nothing. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother and mother father who are now together in terms of opposit to me.
5) With the way my familly made several attempts to trouble my life I have decided to break it forever and with that notion started afresh of my own. Mean time I contributed and served family in personal and professional capacity as obligation and duty of the son and member.
Now I have decided to claim a share on the said property. Since my father bypassed my aunts share while transfering property, he is only title holder as of today. He himself purchased many properties by his own and I am not interested to claim any on it.
I want to know what should be course of my actions to file a suit to claim my share. What kind of documents I will be needing (please not whatever we have in documents is with my father and he will not give them to me any for protecting himself).
Should I first serve him personal notice myself before landing to court and appointing a lawyer?
Please please advice me.
Thanking you,
Dr. Prashant
