How to secure senior citizen's property legally?

I seek legal advice regarding the illegal possession of my maternal grandmother’s (Nani’s) property and her abuse by her grandson. My Nani has three children: my mother, my aunt, and one son (Mama), who became mentally and physically disabled after an accident. Nani supported Mama, my abandoned aunt, and her son (S) for many years. My mother lived separately after marriage. Around 2019, S began harassing Nani and took control of all her property. He even admitted her to a mental hospital, after which she lost her speech and mental awareness. In 2021, my mother brought Nani to our home and has since borne all her medical and living expenses. S continues to occupy Nani’s property without legal authority, provides no support to Nani, my aunt, or disabled Mama, withholds all property documents, and threatens us. We seek advice on how to evict S, recover property documents, protect Nani, and ensure that her property is legally secured for her lawful heirs—my mother, aunt, and Mama—under applicable civil, criminal, and senior citizen protection laws.

In this case, you can take action under civil, criminal, and senior citizen protection laws. First, file a civil suit for eviction and property recovery to remove S from the property and secure all documents. Simultaneously, file a police complaint for harassment, threats, and illegal possession. For your grandmother’s welfare, approach the Senior Citizens’ Tribunal or local authorities for protection, care, and maintenance. Collect all medical records, property documents, and proof of harassment as evidence. Legal heirs - your mother, aunt, and disabled Mama, have the right to claim and secure the property.
