• Property constructed by me

I lives in Shimla. I am Hindu by region. My parents bought a plot 2 years back 100 km away from Shimla and i also paid around 20 % in that plot. Soon after 1 year we started developing it. We built a 2bhk on this plot i spent 20 % of money to built the house. Currently i am living in that house and my parents are living separately. My parent does job in govt sector in Shimla and i have my private business. Me and my mother jointly applied for loan and we got loan for construction. I am co borrower in this loan. This plot is registered on my mothers name. Only i built this house by loan money and no body came to see construction. Now my mother want to build other story for my brother. I dont want that because i do not have good relation with him. They want me give my 20% back and want me to vacant the house. I also want them to pay for the time and effort i put in to built the house.

Hello

The plot is in your parents name. You contributed 20 % towards it. Same with the house. Your parents want to have the house for their sons.just because you don't have good relations with your brother that does not mean that they will cut off all ties with him. Emotions do take precedence over reason.therefore you should take the money and settle elsewhere if goubwant yo settle this Amicably and your bro unbearable.

But if you can compromise then let them do what they want. After all they are your parents everything is yours after them.

This is not a legal issue as people and relations are involved. Talk to them. But there can be no legal solution to this kinda problem.

In case they were not your parents I could have told you that you could sue them but only if They had promised that they would not let your bro enter the place but they did.

Firstly send them notice to pay the entire 20% amount that was paid along with interest for these period where you invested time and your money. Apply to the bank to discharge you as co borrower after paying the share of loan availed by you. If you want property file a suit for declaration declaring you as owner of 20% of property and bring injunction from court to not to vacate you from property.

1. SINCE the Plot of Land is registered in Parents Name, you as such do not derive any legal rights to restrain them from allowing brother to construct further on the land.

2. HOWEVER, since you are physically occupying the constructed house, you can refuse to allow anybody to construct above the portion of your house. This you can do for years and frustrate the parents & brother, even if they file a civil suit. You should register the house in your sole name with the relevant authorities on immediate basis.

3. Whether you want to do this or attempt to restore your relations, is another advisable matter.

You will not became legally the owner of the house property at any point of time during life time of your mother. The ownership of title on the property (plot + house) will pass on to all her legal heirs jointly,

try to solve the dispute with your mother and transfer the property on your name.

Firslty, as it has been stated in your present query that it has been built on your money though it is on the name of the mother.

Secondly, it is true that you can’t claim right over the same, but can ask for the compensation for the time which you have spent there.

Thirdly, let me tell you that now, there are chances for you to win the case also if fight with consciousness as money was yours, it just that you allowed the name of the mother over the same. Depends upon the judge to entertain this point or not.

1. legally your mother is owner of plot. Actually she is a co-owner as 20% funds for purchase of plot was contributed by you

2. so she can make further construction on the existing house

3. if your parents want you to vacate, then they will have to pay your contribution adjusted at today's market value of plot and also repay your loan (if the loan is being repaid by you exclusively, despite your mother being a co-borrower)

Since the property is in your mother's name, if you refuse to accept this amount which you have invested and what they are willing to give you, you may not able to recover even this at a later stage and your case may also not be maintainable in court of law if you want to file a money recovery suit.

So better accept it because legally you are not the owner of this house.

See if the property is on name of mother then it shall be equal distributed among all legal heirs. The legal heirs can mutually partition the property or can file a suit of partition before the court.
