Hi,
Seeking your advice, thanks in advance.
Past Story:
We are Hindu family. My grandfather registered partition document for his elder married son (my father) (say, S1), then registered a Will in 1981 for his younger minor son (say, S2) and soon expired. He stated in Will that my grandmother is guardian to minor son(S2), can enjoy income from property, but doesn’t have rights to sell/donate; and she should handover property once he becomes major.
After 2yrs of grandfather’s expiry, S2 is missing as a minor. After 7yrs of that, my grandmother sold 2 houses (some part was inherited from his father) to outside parties (grandmother, 3 daughters signed on deeds. But 4th daughter (say, D4) did not sign, but took money offline).
Now, my grandmother alone sold remaining house (own earning of my grandfather) to me 3 months ago and soon expired.
Current Questions:
1) Is my grandmother sole owner of the property prior to sale? Or grandmother, daughters, son (S1) together are combined owners prior to sale?
2) D4 is threatening me that they will file a case & asking to cancel registration, share it to all of them. Other 3 daughters are also seeking share. What should I do?
3) In my sale deed, Will and missing son were not mentioned. But mentioned that my grandmother acquired property from the arrangements prior to 1986 in family. Is it incorrect document? What to do? (house tax is on my grandfather’s name till now).
4) In earlier deeds to others, she mentioned about Will, missing son. Is it right documentation & right sale?
5) Do the first 2 sales to outside parties have legality as some part of property was inherited to grandfather from his father? I hope such inherited property should come to all grandchildren.
6) Can I raise objection on earlier sales (happened 12 years ago)? I hear no objection is entertained after 12yrs of registered sale deed. Is it true?
