Hi,
I'm looking for an expert advice on the following situation.
My grandfather had a property in Kerala, which given to him by his father in return for the expenses incurred by my grandfather in marrying off his siblings. Now, this property was gifted to one my aunt (mother's sister) by my grandfather without my mother's knowledge in 1984. My grandfather passed away in the year 2000. We came to know about the transaction only in 2007. My mother, being the eldest, also has a brother and another sister. My aunt had once said that she will divide the property equally into four parts but now has backtracked.
Can my mother claim for her share of the property which was given to my aunt without her knowledge? My aunt is a doctor and well settled abroad. The reason given for the transfer of the property was to support her she had no other means to live. While in reality she was married and settled abroad since 1976.
