How to legally claim ancestral property?
We have ancestral property inherited from my grandparents. My father wants to sell the property and keep the entire sale amount without sharing it with the children. What legal steps can I take in this situation? Please advise.
If the property is truly ancestral property, then children may also have a legal share in it by birth. Your father generally cannot sell the entire property and keep all the money without considering the legal rights of other coparceners/heirs. You should first obtain property documents and legal records to confirm the nature of the property. If there is a dispute, you can file a partition suit and seek a stay order from the Civil Court to stop any illegal sale until shares are properly decided.
