How to stop my father from selling property

Hi,

We are 4 sister, 2 married and two unmarried. Our father sold an ancestral property to get my elder sister married and he clearly told us we r responsible for our own marriages. I got married with my own money and now helping my younger sisters get married. We have a house which my father built with his own money. Now we r afraid he might sell our house without telling us. I am not sure if the house is just on my fathers name or both my parents name. Do any of us have a right to object the sale or are we helpless?

If the house is registered on your fathers name he can do whatever he wants with it .

Dear Arpita,

You could have & you can still challenge the sale of ancestral property, yourr father was utterly incompetent to sell for the simple reason that it was not his absolute property but a property in which all you had a right by birth. You can get this opened provided we can overcome the laws of limitation.

As regards the self acquired property - there is pretty much nothing that you can do, unless you prove that the same was acquired from ancestral funds.

Good Luck !
