Hi, I am a married woman of 45. We are 3 sisters and 2 brothers. My father died a natural death 4 years back and has not left any will. We have an ancestral property acquired by my great grand father, which is a large agricultural land in west UP on the road side of Delhi - Moradabad highway
What is the legal status of our rights (me and my 2 sister's rights) on this land? Can my 2 brothers alone dispose of this land to gain their money?
My mother is alive and she lives with my younger brother
They told us that we sisters would have got equal rights if the ancestral property would have been residential, but we have no rights in it as it is an agricultural land
One of my brothers is a doctor and the other is an engineer. Both earning good, none of them is going to do any agriculture on this land, they will simply sell it and book money to their account
What is the status of law on this specially in UP? I presume the benefit of agricultural land to be distributed only in brothers (if at all there is one such rule, which i very much doubt) should be given only if they are going to use it for agriculture, isn't it?
Pls enlighten me
Thanks in advance
