Hi,
I have lived in the flat in qeustion since 1969 with my father, mother and two other siblings.
In 1987 my one sibling got married and she moved out to another town .
In 1994 another sibling migrated to USA.
My father, mother and I (who was running the house) were living.
In 2010 my father ( the tenant ) passed away with no will which left my mother and me.
Now the property is up for sale (redevelopment) and the redeveloper is buying it but from only one nominated and needs NOC from other three. The siblings are willing to sign NOC but now and then the female sibling says she has legal right. A friend who is a law student said that tenancy is not a family property and only my mother and I are tenants now.
The questions are:
1. Do siblings have legal rights to the tenancy since they moved out from 1987 and 1994 respectively?
2. If my mother is nominated , how do I safeguard my interest as my mom wants to another twon and I wnat to live in te same city? We have agreed to split it 50:50.
3. My mom said she will sign post-dated cheque amouting 50% of the sale of tenancy. Is that enough?
Thanks for your precious time.
