Here is the scenario:
- Unmarried woman (US citizen) owned property in Maharasthra and died in the US (Flat 1)
- No will present, US courts appointed her married sister as the executor/administrator of the estate (Sibling A)
- Sibling A requested signatures from all siblings to excuse themselves from the ownership of Flat 1 with the exception of Sibling B (who verbally excused himself and claimed that he has no interest in property or $ of the deceased sister)
- 3 years later, Sibling B who excused himself is claiming that since he never signed, he would like the Flat 1 to be sold and divided.
- Sibling B is a citizen of Europe and is an NRI.
- Despite Sibling B's verbal excusal, what are the potential risks here?
- Does Sibling A have legal standing over Flat 1 because of the administration letter that was received from the US?
- What is the best way to proceed?
- What legal action can Sibling B take?
