Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Niece claiming property

We are three sisters whose brother

and his wife have passed away. He

lived in the house built by our

parents with his wife and daughter.

Now the daughter claims the house

(and property) belongs to her. We

have no documents or copies such as

sale deed, title, katha, etc. How do

we know on what grounds this niece

is claiming the property? Do we

make a claim for our share through a

lawyer to oblige her to disclose

whatever documents she is holding?

How do we prevent her from selling

the house and property?

Re: Niece claiming property

You can all the copies by applying in the Revenue and Registration offices.

In impending litigation, it is always appropriate to get yourself informed of the facts before taking any stand.

Re: Niece claiming property

Few things shall be looked into before proceeding for a litigation:

1. Title of the property

2. How the property passed on to the deceased brother.

3. Family tree for your parents

Yes, there is likelyhood of your share in the property as the property belonged to your father.
