Fathers Property share for Daughters

Hi,

I am from bangalore (Female, 24 yrs old) My father died before I got married without any will. After his death, my brother forced me and my sister to sign a legal document (Release Deed) for one of the property. I was 22 when I signed the papers. Now I am married and have a kid. When he asked us to sign the paper we had a domestic problem, so he said that this is just a formality and nothing to worry in the future. But now after our marriage he denied to give any share and claims that we do not have any ownership in the property. Is this true that we cannot claim a share in the property now? He has taken the business as well the two houses and other property and not a dime he spared us. He claims that he has spent for our marrige and that is all we get. The entire property is self aquired by my father. The release deed does sate only about one of the house where we live and nothing stated about the business and other property.

Can we claim for share in the property and the business now? Since he is not sharing any can we obtain a stay order for the business.

Thanks in advance for your reply

Aparna

Whether release deed exeucted by you is regd.,? If not then you can claim your share in your father's property. File a suit for partition and seperate possession of your share.

Mrs. Aparna,

Since there is no will executed by your father, all the legal heirs including u r mother if she is alive will surely get equal rights over the estate of the deceased. As per the released deed is concerned are u sure it pertains only to one property or all the property , whether it is registered or not registered etc can be concluded only after going thro the release deed document. if u have a copy of the same u can revert back to me on 9845285555 or on sohan1912@rediffmail.com for any further clarification and guidance.

Good Luck and Warm Regards
