Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) since your father died intestate each legal heir had 1/5th share in land
2) your mother has relinquished only her 1/5th share
3) your sisters have not relinquished their share .
4) consent of other legal heirs is not required for addition of their names
1. Did your sisters sign as witnesses on the relinquishment deed?
2. After the demise of your father his widow and all his children inherited his property equally.
3. The relinquishment has been done by your mother and not your sisters. So your sisters have an equal share in the property. As such, their name is to be added in the records.
4. Giving of dowry does not impair their proprietary rights.
Hi,
After your father's death in 2006, your mother and four of you brothers and sisters were equally legal heirs to your father's property. Since it was in Tisco area, naturally it was a leased land and it does not make any difference as most of Jamshedpur area itself is a lease land. Now, your sisters have a right in your father's property as being class I legal heirs. They can approach the court (Not Tata Steel's Land Dept.) for their share in the father's property.
Hi,
since it was your father's self acquired property and in absence of a will, all of you are legal heirs. Your mother relinquishing her right in favour of you & your brother doesn't seem to be in consequence of legal procedure. You must approach a court to get a Heirship Certificate and for that you need to include all the five names (including your mother). The court will issue Heirship certificate in favour of all the five members and then your mother can relinquish her share in favour of anyone.
after the amendment in Hindu succession act 2005 by september 2005, daughter is now included in the coparcenery system and she has interest in joint hindu family property along with son. so they can claim their share in the property. your mother's share will be distributed between you & your brother. after demise of your father each member had 1/5 th share but after your mother's relinquishment you & your brother will get 1/5 + 1/2 share of your mother.
you have an extra right in the property i.e. marriage expense out of the joint property. this expense will be deducted from whole property then distribution of share will taken place.
Hi, married daughter is also entitled to share in the ancestral property as your father has not executed any will in respect of the house then all the legal heirs are entitled to share in the properties.
My father had also made a non registered will notified by notary public Jamshedpur in 2003, with 2 witnesses.Only two brothers were mentioned in the will .Sisters were not included as they were married 30 years back and father had given lot of dowry for their well being.The will stated that after my death the house will be given to my two sons only, not to the daughters. Will it stand in the court of law ? Also I wanted to know that weather TATA STEEL Land Department can add the name in the property without court's order ? Incase TATA STEEL Land Department add their name without my consent can I send a legal notice to TATA STEEL.What legal remedies I have right now.Both of the sisters lived abroad and never looked after my parents I was looking after them forever and they never cared for her they only wanted property.At present I am occupying the entire house after my father expired.
1) have you applied for probate of will ?
2) if your sisters are claiming share in property forward copy of will to land department
3) you will have to apply for probate to prove that will was executed by your father in presence of witnesses
4) if will is proved and probate granted sisters won't have share in property
Hi, will need not necessarily required to registered and it was affixed by two witnesses then on the basis of the will you can claim the ownership of the property.
2. Tata Steel land development can not add the name of your sister without your consent and your sister has to obtain court order to add their name.
1. Initially you had said that your father died without a will but now you are saying that he made a will. Clarity of thought should precede dissemination of information.
2. According to the will made by your father his two sons are his only successors. The daughters have no share in the property in the light of the will.
3. The will should be got probated as in the absence of probate the will is nothing more than a scrap paper.
1. The name can definitely be added without a court order.
2. You should file for probate of the will and then the court order should be shown to TATA STEEL Land Department to repel their claim.
1. Your mother was not the sole leasee/owner of the property after the demise of your father intestate and all your brothers and sisters alingwith your mother have equal shars on the said property,
2.She owned only 1/5th share f the property which she can relinquish in your name,
3.Your sisters can certainly claim their shares.
1. You should now apply for probate of the said will,
2. After probate is granted in your favour, you should send copy of the said probate to TATA STEEL Land department to add your names in their records,
3.You should send a legal notice to TATA STEEL Land Department enclosing copy of the will asking them not to entertain ny other claiment for the said property.
