Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
family arrangement.
after passing away of my father, an old family arrangement from 1989 has come to play as my father's house now needs to be sold! the family arrangement says that both me and my brother hand over the house to our father as the title deed of the land was in our names and remains till date as per revenue records in me and my brother's name.. however, in my father"s will the house has been given equally to my 2 sisters as well.... 25 % to each sibling! the family arrangement is not executed on a stamp paper nor has it been registered as no affidavit for no objection to transfer was ever signed by me... does this arrangement hold any legality and can my father will the plot of land which is on my name as per revenue records???

What was the necessity of family arrangement. It is a moral binding on you if you had agreed to that arrangement. And legally also your sisters will fight it out in the court with the proof of family arrangement which is valid though not on a stamp paper.
Check law of succession governing your father and decide further.
