1. You and your siblings are entitled to equal share in the ancestral property.

2. Send a legal notice to your brothers, for getting your legitimate share in the property, alongwith your similarly placed siblings.

3. File a case in the competent civil court for declaration, partition and separate possession of the property by metes and bounds.

1. How title of the property got transferred from your great grandfather to your mother?. Was it through Gift Deed or WILL or Release/Relinquishment Deed from all the entitled family members (legal heirs) or NOC from all the rightful legal heirs. 

2. If the query to the question under Sl.No. 1 is clarified, then the correct opinion can be given.

3. Regarding your reference to another property of 6.24 acres, each one of you is entitled to equal share, irrespective of your father's year of death.

Dear Client,

Daughter is entitle to equal share along with brother and mother i.e. 1/6th share each. Mother can give only her share by GIFT in her life time or through WILL - effective after death. YOU can claim your share by filling partition suit. Transfer in mother`s name dose not effect inheritance right.

You had equal right even at the time of your father`s death.

If brother`s agree than partition deed will execute.

Even though your father died before the amendment to Hindu Succession Act that took place in 2005, further judgements from the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that irrespective of the date of death of father, the daughters' are also entitled to equal share in the property and the daughters' are also coparceners as that of sons. Hence daughters' are also entitled to equal share in the property on par with their brothers.

1. Actually while  registering your mother's name as Khatedar,  NOC should have been obtained from all the legal heirs, viz. 4 brothers and 2 sisters.

2. All the affected siblings can now represent to the jurisdictional Tahsildar, to include names of all legal heirs (including your mother) in the RTC and in the Mutation Register by furnishing the certified Family Tree.

3. As per your narration, your mother's name has been mutated for the property in view of Pouthi Katha and only 2 brothers have given NOC and the remaining 2 brothers and 2 sisters are not party to that. Therefore, your mother is not the absolute owner of the property and she can at best gift her entitled  share in the property to you by executing a registered Gift Deed or your mother can execute a WILL for her share in the property and your brothers' NOC is not necessary..

Mother can execute gift deed for her share in property 

 

gift deed should be duly stamped and registered

The property, though your father  inherited from his father, shall be his own and absolute properties since the nature of ancestral property extinguished upon the partition and subsequent transfer to the heirs of the deceased.

Now upon your deceased father's intestate death the properties remained on his name shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs i.e., wife, sons and daughters.

Therefore the transfer of three acres of properties to your mother's name is not legally valid, she can get only her own share and not the entire property.

You can file a partition suit seeking division of properties and separate possession of your legitimate share in the properties left behind by your deceased father.

If your mother acquired the property from her own grandfather then that  becomes her own property.

She can very well give a share in that property to you as she is the absolute owner of the property, for this she need not have the permission or consent of yor brothers.

The properties lying on your father's name shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs, hence you have a right to a share in that property consisting 6.24 acres, you may file a partition suit claiming your legitimate share and separate possession of the same.

If it's an ancestral property, your mom can't execute any valid gift deed as she is not the absolute owner for the said property. It's better you all execute a registered partiion deed with consent else file a partition suit in civil court

Your mother can transfer your share in the property by executing a registered settlement deed also.

For this she need not take the permission of your brothers.

For your share, no gift deed required but only partition deed. Mother share you can get by gift or WILL. No NOC from brother require.

1. if the property is the self acquired property of your father then you have a share in it

2. however if it is an ancestral property then since your father died in 1992, you do not have any share in the same

3. so first you need to check what is the nature of the property

4. also if one of the plots is transferred to your mother's name by a registered document, then she can make a gift deed in your favour without taking any NOC from your brothers

Dear Madam,

You are entitled for a share. Please see the following. Immediately file a partition suit. Mother cannot execute such documents as she is not the absolute owner of the  property.

 

Daughters Born Before 2005 Have Equal Rights To Ancestral Property: SC

The judgement was delivered by Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan on February 1st, 2018 in the matter of Danamma v. Amar.
