Can we challenge grandfather’s property sale without family consent?

My grandfather signed an agreement to sell a property to another person, but none of the other family members signed or consented to it. Can we file a case in court to challenge this agreement? If we do, will the matter be resolved in our favor?

Dear Client, you can only object to the sale agreement if the property was a joint family property and every member of the family was a co-parcenor in the property. If the property was your grandfather's self-acquired property, he has the right to decide who the property can go to and if he wants to sell it. He does not require the permission of the family before entering into an agreement to sell his self-acquired property. I hope this was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

If your grandfather sold ancestral property without the family’s consent or legal necessity, you can file a civil case to cancel the sale deed. If the property was self-acquired, the sale is valid. Gather all old property papers before filing a case to protect your family’s ownership rights. For further legal assistance contact us our helpline number.
