Can I claim ancestral property sold and willed to sister?

How can I claim ancestral property? My grandfather owned a house that went to my father after partition. I am the only son, and I have one sister. My father sold the ancestral house and bought a new one, which he willed to my sister before his death in 2011. My mother currently lives there. I received nothing. Am I entitled to a share, and how can I claim it? I have the sale and purchase deeds.

Even if your father sold the ancestral property and bought a new house, you may still have a claim if the original property was ancestral and sold without your consent. Since you're a legal heir, consult a civil lawyer and file a partition suit to contest the will and claim your share. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
