• Living on paternal property for 31 years but registry is with relatives

I am living on my paternal property for past 31 years. That include my father, mother, brother and sister. The property is in the name of my grand father. There was no will as far as I know and the land registry is with grand fathers elder brother (my tauji), who, along with their kids are living separately in their own house. Upon asking several times about the registry, they are not wilfully giving straight answer. Please suggest what can do be done.

Hi

You can proceed with the partition deed, through that you can achieve the ownership of the property you legally deserve from the grandfather's part.

Thank You

If the property was in your grand fathers name than your father has succession right on it in absence.of will.

To seek property documents you.can seek title from. Sub registrar's office.also you will find.copy.of.registry there.

Also if they by any false.means try to.change document you have adverse.pession of.property from 31 years so cannot.ask to vacate.

Make searches in the local registration office to find out the title deed.If the deed was registered you will get a certified copy of the sid eed for sure.

Please note that if the land was purchased in the name of your tauji then unfortunately your father will not have any right in the property.

However if the property was purchased in the name of your grandfather then your father has due share in the proeprty along with his brother and sister, if any, as the same is considered to be his self acquired proeprty .

So it you have reason to believe that the property was purchased in the name of your tauji then do not raise dispute anymore.

I presume that you are Hindu. Try to get relevant documents in respect of property, if you would find that the property is belong to your grandfather then your father has proportionate share with his brother and sister.But if you would see that the property is belong to your tauji and the same was gifted by your grandfather during his life time by a registered deed then your father has no right.

It is one's unimpeachable title and uninterrupted possession shall establish his/her right to enjoy the property. As no document is with you, you may be stripped of the possession. Therefore, search for the documents to establish your possession and it may help to defend in case of legal battle.

By theory of adverse possession u have already assumed actual owner status.

Adverse possession is a doctrine under which a person in possession of land owned by someone else may acquire valid title to it, so long as certain common law requirements are met, and the adverse possessor is in possession for a sufficient period of time, as defined by a statute of limitations.

If there was any share to your grandfather in the property, then his son, i.e., your father alone is entitled to inherit the same as sole legal heir or one among the legal heirs of your deceased grandfather.

Neither you nor your siblings have any right over the property especially during the lifetime of your father.

Your father can file a partition suit against his paternal uncle.

You have no other option than to opt for legal method for claiming the property.

At this juncture, you may either organise a peace talks with others and get your property legally transferred to your father's name or file a partition suit to claim your father's legitimate share in the property left behind by your grandfather.
