Respected Sir/Madam,
My father passed away a year ago.
We are 6 legal heirs.
My mother who is 2nd wife of my father, me and my younger sister
and A step brother and two step sisters from his first wife. All are narried.
After my fathers death my step brothers and sister were asking for partition. They were harassing us for partition.
Now they have sent a legal notice for partition.
But my mother is housewife, she gets family pension but that is not enough as it is not much. Me and my younger sister are students. Step brother and sisters do not give a penny to help us though they are earning lot of money. They are not taking our responsibility and treat us as strangers. Insteat they are asking for partition now only and do not have patience or trust in us.
All FDs were in joint name of my father and mother.
Now since we are not yet settled and mother has responsibility of my sisters marriage, can she defer the partition?
What is the law and relevant case studies regarding this matter?
Is it neccesary to divide everything now only?
Can we defer the partition contending that we are not yet settled and mother has responsibilty of our marriage and they are very well settled earning lot of money and not taking our responsibility.
Please advice
Thank you
