I am a divorced (2012) woman, Kerala Sunni Muslim. My Mother bought a house in Trivandrum (with her income she earned while she was working for the government), through home loan, in the late eighties. The property was registered in both, my mother's and my father's name. My mother passed away in the year 2000 without a will. My Father is alive. I have two elder brothers. My brothers denied giving me a share of the said property.
I have the following questions.
1) Do i have a share in the property? Can I legally claim my share of the property?
2) Since it was a joint property, and one of the owners is deceased with no will- will the ownership of the property go solely to the other joint owner, i.e., my father?
3)Would her share of the property be partitioned among all of her survivors, i.e., my father, brothers, and myself?
PS: Is this a complicated case or would it be an easy win for me, in case i move legally? How long would you say this case might take to resolve if i move legally?
