Hi Lawyers,
I have a query to understand whether my mother has rights to give a case against her brother for cheating all his siblings and acquiring my grandfather's property.
My grandfather passed away few years back and grandmom is still alive. There was no division of share among his 3 children. All the property and articles are given to my uncle who is the lone male child in the family. There are two sisters on of which is my mom and both of them where given nothing by my grandfather.
My grandfather had taken signatures from my mom and her sister on some document which they were not allowed to read before his death. We suspect this document contains the details that we don't want any part of the share. After his death my uncle started ill treating my grandmom too. She is currently in a state that she cannot remember past always.
My uncle had also build a house in my grandfather's property when he was alive and now my uncle holds all the property and houses which my grandfather had build. We are from Hindu family. I am not sure on the rights and laws. Since he is ill treating my grandmom. My mom and sister had decided to teach him a lesson. But don't know the rights we have to question what my grandfather had divided. We are also scared to question him directly. Thought if possible we will get legal help. He is a government servant in Gazzetted rank.
Any reply will be an encouragement. Also let me know in case you need more information on the same. We are from Ernakulam.
Regards,
Rajesh
