Can brother claim my house after 26 years possession?
My elder brother has been living in my house for the past 26 years. The house is registered in my name. Now, his lawyer is claiming ownership, saying I didn’t take any legal action for over 12 years, so they have become the rightful owners. I didn’t file any complaint because he’s my brother, and I didn’t need the property until now. But I want my house back. What can I do?
Even after 26 years, you can file a civil suit for eviction and possession since the property is registered in your name. The claim of ownership by long stay is not valid unless legally transferred. The Limitation Act does not apply if possession was allowed informally. Get a property lawyer to start proceedings. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
