1) you are not entitled to any remuneration from your siblings for maintenance of the house . you have enjoyed the property for 25 years so question of remuneration does not arise

2)you spent on your parents treatment out of love and affection towards them . you cannot now claim equal contribution from your siblings for expenses incurred on your parents medical treatment

3) you are not entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred on your sister marriages

1. You have been maintaining the house your comfortable habitation in it, your siblings have never asked you to maintain the same.

However you may claim proportionate share amount paid towards taxes paid in the last three years.

2. The expenses incurred for maintaining your parents cannot be reimbursed by your siblings for any reason. It becomes your duty especially when you have been enjoying their property without paying any rent and also since they have brought you up

3. The expenses towards your sister marriage also cannot be claimed legally
