Dear Experts:
There is a farm on my late grandfathers name, which was inherited by him from his grand father. His grandfather, when dividing properties among his grandson's, gave my grandfather the farm and its been on my grandfather's name since then. We have phani nakals from 1953 showing that the land was on my grandfather's name.
My grandfather died about 67 years ago and my grandmother died 1 month ago. My grandfather did not leave any will and my father is the only son. My father and I have all the relevant documents showing the relationship to my grandfather.
The current situation is, my grandfather's brother's son's (my fathers cousin brothers) are also claiming the part of the land and there is a peshi at the Tahisldar's office soon. I believe on that day Tahsildar will decide who will get the land
Questions:
- Who is the rightful heir to the land? Is it my father/me or do my father's cousin brothers also get a share in the land?
- With my father's written approval, can the Tahisldar directly transfer the land on my name?
Thanks in advance
