Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
My question is around the fair distribution of property and other goods by parents for their two sons. My father in law who is still earning (age 60) is being biased in his approach with his two sons. He had given us (elder son and his wife) 40 L for buying a house 2 years back and now giving 85 lacs to my brother in law to buy his house, as he has lower capacity of home loan approval and repayment. Other than house, he keeps giving gold, car etc to my brother-in law, sometimes hiding from us. My question is � is there any legal way that I can question our equal entitlement on his wealth? Or is there anything I can do to question them, or I just have to sit and see this happening to us? By the way, they are in good relations with both the sons, just doing it, because the younger son has less income.

Dear Sir / Madam,
No, there is nothing you can do to ensure that your father-in-law euitably distributes his property and assets. Your father in law is free to deal with his property and assets in the manner he best deems fit to. A word of caution that you will stand to lose badly if you try to go to teach your father in law what he should or should not be doing. Just leave it as it is and happily accept what comes your way.
