Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
My father built a house registering it in the name of my youngest brother and mother having a share of 50% each. We are 4 siblings. My mother has now expired willing her share equally divided amongst father and 4 sons.How can we brothers prevent any problem from occuring for our aged dad to live in that house as none of us are presently interested in that real estate and have given an affidavit to that effect. Please advise to the future course of action also from Dad's point of view so that there is no antipathy betweens brothers at a later stage.
Thanks

He may continue living in the house as a co-sharer.
As you said that your mother bequethed her share to all the four brothers and your dad as well,so all of you brothers gift the same to your dad in return after probating the will if needed so that your dad can ever live happily.
