My great-grandfather bought land in his own name. After his death, my grandfather registered the land in his name. My grandmother passed away due to a health issue, and later my grandfather married another woman. He then transferred some of my great-grandfather’s land to my step-grandmother’s name. Now they are not giving any land to my father and are trying to transfer it to my step-grandmother’s son. Is it legal to transfer my great-grandfather’s land to my grandfather’s second wife? If not, how can we proceed to reclaim the land?
If your grandfather inherited land from your great-grandfather, and then gifted it to his second wife, that may be legally valid unless the land is ancestral. If it's ancestral, your father can claim a share. File a partition suit and ask the court to stop any transfer until rightful shares are decided. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
