1. As per the facts furnished by you, your father made a will of his property in favour of his family members, and within a week of the will being made by him he sold the property to another person. The tenant was the legal owner of the shop as it was validly sold to him by your father through a sale deed registered in his favour. He could thus have further sold it to any one.
2. When did your father die? The date of death of your father is germane to decide whether it will be possible now for you to bring a legal action for recovering this property on the basis of the will made in the favour of your family members.
