Buying ancestral property in Bihar from a Muslim family
Hi All,
I am negotiating to buy a piece of Z's ancestral land with a house built on it. The land and house are in Z's possession now.
Z is the only daughter of her father 'Y'. 'Y' is dead. Z doesn't have any sibling.
The land is in the name of Z's great grandfather, 'A'. Lets call Z's grandfather 'B'.
'B' has one son 'Y' and a daughter 'X'. The land is in B's father's name ('A').
B has divided his 10,000 sq. feet land into two parts. B has given 5000 sq ft given to daughter(X) and son(Y) each. The partition is done orally and everyone respects it.
If i buy the land from Z without taking consent of X, will Z's aunt (bua) can claim on the land and house? Z doesn't want to bring her aunt in this deal.
So the family tree looks like this:
A(Great Grandfather)
|
B (Grandfather)
| |
X (B's Daughter - Alive) Y (B's Son) (Dead)
|
Z (Y's Only Daughter)
Please advise.
Thanks,
Saif

Please note that i am buying Y's share only. That is, Z's father's share.

Thanks for your quick valuable response.
A follow-up question:
The problem is Z doesn't want to bring X into the picture.
Suppose, i am going with the purchase without X's consent and X or her family member files a claim on Z's property (which will be mine), what are the possible outcomes of legal tussle? What are the chances that the judgement will come in favour?
Thanks,
Saif.
