My great-grandfather (GGF) had three children: EB (eldest son), YB (younger son), and a daughter (D). In 1973, EB executed a partition deed with GGF and took some properties. YB stayed with GGF, and D got married. After GGF died in 1999, the remaining properties were transferred to YB in 2014. Now, D has filed a civil suit claiming her share and named EB and YB as defendants. Will EB’s share remain unaffected since his partition was before the 20 December 2004 cutoff? Will D get a share only in YB’s properties, or both EB and YB’s?
Since EB’s partition deed was executed before the 2004 cutoff, his share likely remains unaffected. D can claim a share only in properties that remained with GGF and later transferred to YB. She generally cannot claim EB’s already partitioned share unless legally contested. Legal advice is recommended. For further legal assistance, you can contact us on our helpline number.
