Can inherited property details be legally corrected?

My father divided his property among his four children. However, the property allotted to my youngest brother has been incorrectly described as "inherited" in the documents, even though my father purchased it using his own earnings. The document should reflect this correctly because we have been advised that if the term "inherited" remains, my brother's wife may claim rights over the property. Please advise.

If the property has been incorrectly described as "inherited" instead of self-acquired, the error should be corrected at the earliest. Your father or the concerned parties may execute a rectification deed, if legally permissible. A correct description of the property's nature helps avoid future disputes. Consult a property lawyer to ensure the records accurately reflect the ownership. For further legal assistance contat us on our helpline number.
