Gift property

I am the only daughter for my parents. My father is the only son and have other siblings(daugters) for my grand parents. My grand mom is alive. My father and Grand father are no more. My father siblings(Sisters) are alive. My grand mom gifted me a property(Its registered as a gift) . When my grand father was alive it was on his name and later went on to my grand moms hand and later gifted to me around 2008. Now is there any way my fathers sister can have rights on that property?

Hi Pretanika,

1. Depends on how your grandmother got to acquire the property -if your grandfather left no will/gift - and property came down to grandmom, in that case they can very much claim. However their claim can be defeated on the grounds of limitation since they have not challenged all these years.

2. Consult a local advocate with chronological dates and events for him to reach the correct conclusion.

If the property came to be vested in your grandmother by way of a will from your grandfatheer, she was at liberty during her lifetime to gift/will it to anyone she desired, and any such gift being made by her would be a manifestation of her intention to exclude all others from having any share in it. On the other hand, if she succeded to this property on the death of her husband, the remaining heirs can very much claim it unless there claim is bared by limitation.

If the property was self aquired and not the anscetral property of your grand father them no one has claims over the property other than to whom it's being gifted or in the name it's being registered........ Since you have mentioned that the property was gifted by your grand paa to his wife......
