Dear Law professionals.... I have a question...
My grandfather passed away in 1993, and bequeathed his land to two of the sons, viz: my father and my uncle, in equal halves. The will was not a registered one. In 1997, my father settled the land share by paying him the market value of the land, and a release agreement is already in place. Now, my father has inherited 50% of the property, and the rest of 50% now qualifies as his earned property.
My father now plans to put the land on development, and I have my objections to it. A few questions as follows:
1. What are my legal limitations under which I can prevent the land from going into development?
2. Since the property is inherited by my father, by way of my grandfathers' unregistered will, can I take claim of a part in the property?
Please advise on the questions, and the legal procedure.
Kindly advise.
