Hi,
My MIL (husband deceased and 2 daughters) is living in her maternal house where her brother in law is also staying. The house is in the name of her father in law (also deceased) and we "Heard" in their WILL, he had distributed it amongst his two sons (one of them being my father in law).
Challenge is we do not have any clarity since we do not have any property papers or copy of WILL, if it exists. Whenever we confront the brother in law for the copy of papers/WILL, he intentionally denies giving a copy.
We only have electricity bills (in the name of FIL), water bill, etc.
We are going through the route of mutually coming to some agreement, but it's not working. Before we go the legal route, we first want to be informed and understand what is rightfully ours.
- What's the best way to get details of the property - whose name is it registered in, etc.? We tried going through DORIS but it doesn't list transactions that are very old (in this case 60+ years).
- How can we get access to the WILL?
Is there a way to get details of these as going through a mutual route seems to be meeting roadblocks.
