Legal Question in Family Law in India

Respected sir!

i am lone son among five children to my parents who belonged to a poor family before my joining Military service. As long as i served for 20 years i contributed for the family financially and built an house for parents on govt patta land and shouldered marriages of last two sisters. helping all the sisters to settle in my village itself after their marriages proved me costly. my parents fell prey to false assurances of a comfortable life in old age by my sisters and their husbands.All my sisters, their husbands and children with the help of local influential leaders made every effort through my parents to drive me away from my village with an eye on three acres of land and two houses in village. It is well understood for me that all their efforts are directed towards liquidating all the property for their convenience. I apprehend they may create false promisary notes of loan on the name of my parents before they die even after grabbing entire property with an eye on mine as well. sir what would be my position as son/legal heir if such situations arise in future. Our relations are so shatters that love and affection means no business. How comfortably i can judicially seperate from all, gaining my status in my own built house in patta land (however patta is on my fathers name)? Many letters and DD receipts of the last 20 years in my custody speak of my support to my family. kindly Guide me.

Thank you.

The money spent on construction of house in the name of your father is practically gone; he is the absolute owner of the house and may dispose of the same as per his wishes including making a will in the name of anyone he chooses. If he does not make any will, and there are promissory notes signed by him, the loan amount can be recovered from the property in his name. however, in the absence of any will or promissory note, you will be entitled to one share in the house alongwith other legal heirs.
