I am the owner of a 1 BHK flat which was purchased by my father in the year 1959. My Father nominated my mother in the society register but she passed away prior to him and thereafter my father nominated by younger brother. However as my younger brother used to travel a lot and was not in Mumbai many a time, hence by way of an Affidavit he nominated me in the year 1979 two years after my father's death in 1977, that too after the Society insisted that it is 2 years since our father’s death and the flat is still not transferred to the nominee’s (i.e. my brother;s name). From 1979 my I am the nominee/owner of the flat. However since past two years i.e. almost 32 years after my father’s death, my sisters ( 3 in all, of these the eldest passed away a few months back) are now insisting that the flat of their father be sold and the proceeds be distributed among all five siblings (including 2 children of the deceased sister). They are alleging that the transfer was done fraudulently by the Society and they should have been informed. However I may mention that since the past 30 years they have not once laid any claim on the flat. Until recently.
