1. To safeguard your interest, include a clause in the sale deed with respect to source of funds towards purchase of this property. You may mention that the sale fund has been generated by selling the ancestral property.

2. To become a custodian of his share of property, you will have to obtain a certificate of his guardianship on the strength of his mental illness.

4. Your dad's share in this property is to be shared in between you, your mother, and your sister. Contact a local lawyer fr mutation.

5. Any property that has already been given to your maternal uncle by your maternal grandfather cannot be claimed by your mother; but she has a share in the intestate properties left behind by him. Contact a local lawyer for more assistance. Your mother ca n file a partition suit and claim her share.

1. first enter into a MOU between your mom and 2 brothers. In that it will be agreed between the parties that in order to avail the stamp duty benefit scheme of the govt., the flat will be purchased in the name of the mother. later the mother will gift away her 2/3rd share in the flat to her sons. so all 3 parties will have equal 1/3rd share. in this way your mother will not be able to sell the flat alone. at the most she can deal with her 1/3rd share only. but no buyer will be willing to buy only 1/3rd share in a flat. your mother can sign on behalf of your brother as a natural guardian, since your brother is not mentally sound

2. yes offcourse your brother has a right in the ancestral property. since he is not capable of handling his share due to his mental inability, you can make an application to the court to appoint you as the legal guardian of your brother. your mother can also deal with his share being her natural guardian. the mutation for your brother's share in the property can be done in the name of your mother in the capacity of a natural guardian. a legal guardian will need permission from the court to deal with the property of the person for whom that guardian is appointed. in this way a mentally unstable person's right in property is protected by the court. even a buyer will not buy from the natural guardian or legal guardian unless a court permission is obtained

3. since your dad passed way prior to 2005, your sister does not become a coparcenor and thus cannot claim any share in the property. any legal attempts made by her to so claim will fail

4. the only legal way for your mom to claim her share in the property left by your grandfather is to file a partition suit in court. but first issue a legal notice to your uncle and mark the same as CC to all government authorities to inform that your mother has a legal share in the property. also issue public notice in newspapers warning the public not to deal with your uncle since he is not the only owner of the property and your mom too has a right in the property

5. your mom is a coparcenor in the ancestral land since her father died only 1 year back. that means in the year 2005 her father was alive and thus she automatically becomes a coparcenor in the joint family property. so the grandfather cannot give a share in the land to the son without the consent of all the coparcenors including your mom. you will have to challenge it legally. issue a legal notice and see what response you get

1. See if the land is in name of mother she will be absolute owner of the property in her life and she can transfer it to any one she want without your consent. No such condition can be imposed on her in sale deed restricting her right on land as she will be the absolute owner of the property.

2. You have to apply before court for getting legal guardian status for your bother as mother is not well and you will take care of him and manage his properties.

3. if father expired before 2005 she has no right supreme court in Prakash vs. Phulwati judgement clearified this position.

4. See if they are not mutually agreeing partition suit is only way for demarcation of the share, but still you can get land mutuated in name of all legal heirs of your father including mother and you and your brother, You have to submit an application for mutation along with death certificate of father, grand father and family rasan card and other photo ID with valid Affidavit.

See for selling if buyer agrees for undivided share than only you can sell for dividing share partition suit has to be filed.

5. If it is ancestral property then father cannot give without consent of mother to only son so she can file a suit for claiming the right in ancestral property and partition, since no consent on transfer of ancestral land is not there same has to be challenged.

Also for saving stamp duty you can go with name of your mother but if there is any probability for mother transferring property better get in joint name and pay amount of stamp duty.

If you would like to avail the concession given by the government for the women in purchasing the property without stamp duty, then the property has to be bought on her name alone.

If the property has been purchased on her name then she becomes an absolute owner of the property, by which she can sell, alienate, encumber the property in any manner and the mode of disposal as per her desire shall be her decision which cannot be questioned by anyone,including you especially during her lifetime.

You cannot ensure that the property shall pass through safe hands and arrive you, there is no provision in law for this.

You have to depend on the trust alone.

2. You first have to declare your brother as a mentally incapable or challenged person through court by producing medical documents and then file a petition for court guardian for taking care of his property on his behalf.

The court appointed guardian shall be the custodian of his property for taking all decisions in respect of his share in the property for the welfare of the mentally challenged shareholder.

You cannot take any decision on his share of property on your own, it woujld be illegal.

3. Your father's share of property from his father cannot be ancestral property, hence if it is not ancestral property then she is entitled to her legitimate share in the property as a right.

Ascertain the facts and then decide to fight against her demand.

4. Without a partition you cannot mutate the property to your mother's name. Moreover she is not the only legal heir to have the entire share of your father, all the legal heirs of your deceased father are entitled to a legitimate share in the properties that belonged to your father as his share out of his father's property, therefore you cannot sell that share of property all alone by yourself or by your mother alone.

5. If your maternal grandfather had given away some properties to his son by a registered deed, then your mother can claim a share in the remaining properties which have been left behind intestate by your maternal grandfather,

1. You may have to file a petition under mental health act before the district court in your district to declare your brother as medically unfit with the aid of the medical documents.

2. The partition suit generally takes 5 years to get disposed depending on various factors.

If your mother's father has transferred his certain properties to his son by a registered deed, then your mother canot claim any share in that property, no such cas will be maintainable.

3. You cannot add any such conditions in the sale deed because the sale deed is executed by the seller and it is not your desire that you can add any clause as per your desire.

Your mother once purchased the property can dispos it in any manner even without allocating any share to you.

In sales deed You can't restrict her from selling the land. Yes he has all the rights in Property m the mental health Act protects such people. If partition has happened before the amendment then she will not be entitled for share. If the uncle has share in that property he will object to the mutation. She can claim her share in the property equal to her brothers.

If possible you should file a civil suit for permanent injunction. You have purchased this flat after selling of ancestral property and it is proven fact that your mother had no income at the time of purchase of that flat. In this condition this flat will be treated as ancestral property. You have equal right and common share in this property therefore you can file a civil suit for permanent injunction. In this civil suit you claim that you have been in possession of this property however this property is in the name of your mother but it is an ancestral property. According to Order 39 of the code of civil procedure the balance of convenience is in your favour therefore court will grant permanent injunction in your favour. If a person have in common share in the property and already in possession of the property then he has right to get permanent injunction and stop the other co sharer to transfer this property without permission of other shareholders.

Hi,

In case of your brother, the certificate given by doctor will help. Your mother will have to file partition suit. You may take will from mother after getting the property registered on her name.

1. The modification application though can be filed in SC on the grounds of urgency that she is old and suffering a writ for modification can be filed under article 32 but in my view there wont be any use, pursue the application before high court it can be decided in single hearing till then in lower court exemption can be filed.

2.Directions from SC can be taken but since the quashing is taken up year wise Such directions are not readily given to high court to decide it expiditly,

3. A suitable date in the matter can be taken up with some time gap so that matter come on the top of the board.

1. for relaxation of bail conditions, a petition before the court granting the bail has to be moved and not before any other court including supreme court.

2. Even if you approach supreme court for a direction for an expeditious trial, the process in the high court may not improve or you may not get desired result in high court.

3. You can ask your lawyer to move registrar on this for a speedy disposal.
