I am Vijay residing in chennai. My mother has given me a property as "settlement" in the year2004. She bought the property in the year 1978. I want to re-construct that old house now. But, i have a doubt whether my 3 sisters can claim for the shares in future. We have already given the dowry for 2 sisters and for the elder sister part of the house has been given as settlement in the year1999 by my parents. My sisters did not put signature in settlement deed given for me.When i checked with the advocate he confirmed that i have full rights on the property. but many others are keep on saying that after my mother my sisters can file a case on the property for the shares. Is it true? myself and my mother wanted to make sure about this. If it is possible for them to claim shares we will sale the house other wise we will proceed further to re-construct the house.
