Can mother or sisters claim house in sister’s name?

My father purchased a house and registered it in my sister’s name when she was 18. Now that my father has passed away, my sister is refusing to share the property with my mother and other sisters. What can we do? Can my mother claim the house back? Do the other sisters have any legal share?

If the house is registered in your sister's name, she is the legal owner. Your mother or sisters can claim a share only if you can prove that your father paid for it and did not gift it to her. Collect all documents and consult to a property lawyer. You may send a legal notice or file a case if needed. For further assistance, contact our helpline.
