Hello
I am citizen of India and live in New York. My parents passed away last year. No will had been found at home or at the municipal office. As a result, me and my siblings (all living abroad) entered into a memorandum of understanding which we got signed from the Indian counsulate in our respective countries. The subsequent documents (affidavit to acknowledge the MOU, applicable relinquishment deeds etc.) were all signed and attested at the Indian counsulate and registered with the sub-registrar office in New Delhi and Gurgaon as was applicable in our case.
My brother under the pressure of his wife has now denied having signed and executeed any documents and filed cases of forgery, impersonation and intimidation against me and my sisters. Please suggest how we can get the documents verified and validated as indeed being signed and executed without any wrong doing. If we get an order from the court of validate the documents from the Indian counsulate and also do a forensics test on the signatures of my brother, what is the procedure, how long does this usually take and what else might the court require?
We are seeking legal assistance but would like to get an opinion from this forum. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thank You
