Settlement deed without consent of other legal heir

Hello,

The property is in the name of your father so after his death, your mother and children are legal heirs for father having an equal share in the property. Therefore mother cannot transfer the father's property in the name of a single person without the consent of other legal heirs. You can challenge the mother's transaction in court. 

Dear Shri Shirish,

Thanks a lot for your immediate response.

As I mentioned, mother is also deceased.  Brother is claiming that there is no need for the consent of daughter.  How can we proceed.

Please advise.

Any one of you can challenge the settlement deed in court and get declared it null and void and seek partition of Property belonged to your father.

Dear Mr. Bhartesh,

Thank you Sir.

I would be obliged if you could kindly advise me under which Section I can request my Legal Counsel to take up the matter and file the case.

Dear Client, No, Mother can't make a settlement Deed in favor of his son as the property belongs to the father and after his demised, it will be transferred to the spouse and children so all the legal heirs have right on the property.

Dear Shri Manali,

Thanks to all the Legal Experts for my request.

Can you help me with the Section to contest against the Settlement Deed which was executed in August 2016.

Once against thanks to you all.

"Suit for Declaration, Declaring the settlement Deed as Null and Void". Section depends upon the State where the property is. you Tell your Counsel that you need the above said relief. he will proceed as it is... 

Dear Ms. Sureka,

Thanks a lot for your valuable advice which is greatly appreciated.

Any time limit is there to contest please.

Should be filed within three years from the date of execution or from the date of knowledge

Dear Ms. Sureka,

Thanks once again for your expeditious response.

Is there any provision we can contest after 3 years please, as it had happened in August 2016.

My apology to bother you for this.

On the death of the father, the property jointly vested with all the legal heirs. Anyone of them can file a suit for partition with the other legal heirs as defendants. It is for the alleged beneficiary of the alleged settlement deed to plead and prove the same.

Dear Shri Venu.

Thanks for your kind advice.

Is it mandatory that we should file a case within 3 years.

There is no limitation for filing a partition suit.

Dear Shri Venu,

Once again, please accept my profound thanks for your expert advice.

Any Section in the relevant Act, which I can quote.
