1. Sir they cannot stop you from selling your inherited  property , as per above facts you are absolute owner of same and can dispose the properties at your wish by will/gift /sale.


No suit by brother or his children is maintainable against these properties registered to you by your father.

if the said property is legally transferred to you by father and its your father self acquired then they can't claim any share. But if it's ancestral then only they can claim share to his part but then he will have to also give your share from his property received from your father

All these properties are registered in your name and hence nobody has a claim over it. Nobody can challenge your rights over these properties.

The answer will depend on a number of facts that are not spelled out in your question but basically if the property is ancestral it cannot be sold without the permission of those who have a share in it. If it is partitioned by metes and bounds then you may dispose of your share provided there are no adult successors or else with their permission..

1. The properties and share transferred to you by your father are your separate properties which are at par with self acquired properties. You are free to alienate those properties.

2. However, the properties in respect of which your father died intestate, have devolved through intestate succession on all his Class 1 heirs equally. Your brother has an equal share in those properties.

3. If you apprehend that a suit for injunction may be filed in near future by your brother, you may file caveat in the competent civil court to ensure that he does not walk away with an ex parte interim order in his favour.

1. The properties which you received from your father during his lifetime and inherited properties from him, is your separate property having the characteristic of self acquired properties.

2.  You are the absolute owner of these properties and it's up to you to do anything with the properties and except you no other person will be having any right over your properties during your lifetime.

3.  During your lifetime, your brother or his children cannot legally stop you from selling the properties you inherited from your father. However if the property/properties are in joint holding with your brother, then you can sell your individual share in the joint holding by getting your name recorded in the revenue records and partition effected. For joint property, to sell your portion, first preference has to be given to your brother and if he cannot buy your share, then only you can sell it to others.

No. If properties are equally partition between you and your brother after father's death. 

Have your father executed the Will or intestate succession ?

And properties which were registered in your name in your father life is through registered gift or settlement deed than cannot stop to sell those also.

1. Property received via a registered Gift Deed or WILL, becomes the absolute "Self-Acquired" and "Clear Title" property by you, without any further legal reference to any other legal heirs.  You are legally entitled to Sell /Gift/ WILL /Lease /Mortgage /Donate /Whatever ....  your property/s to whomsoever you wish, without any reference to ANYBODY.

2. IF Brother has accepted Father's property, THEN he cannot legally raise any objections on your property. His Children have no right, whatsoever, to raise or demand anything on your property, atleast till your are alive and have not executed your own WILL.

No, your real brother and his children cannot stop you from selling  your legal share inherited from your father.

You are at liberty to deal with the said property as you wish.

If you apprehend any involvement from them, you can file caveat in Court against them.

Since you have inherited/acquired your share of property from your father's property by a valid mode of transfer and as you possess the registered documents to establish the said transfer, you shall be considered as an absolute owner of your property with marketable title.

Therefore being an absolute owner of the property you need not obtain anyone's permission of consent to sell your own property. 

Neither your brother nor his children have any rights or interest in yor property hence they cannot indulge in any such illegal activity to stop you from selling your own property in the manner you may desire and decide.

- As per law, your father was free to transfer his self acquired property to anyone without any interruption from any one during his life time , and no body was having right to claim over the said transfer property. 

- Further, in 2009,  inherited property was registered in your name , then after registering the said property , you become the legal absolute owner of the property legally. 

- Hence, in both the cases, you are legal owner of those properties , and now it become your self acquired property, and no person including your real brother , sisters having any right to claim over those properties during your life time. 

- Further, legally , you are free to transfer /sell these properties to any one , and no body can stop you from selling.

You mean certain properties of your father was legally transferred to your name and you now wish to know if your brothers chidren can claim.

If the transfer of property has taken place legally with all the documentation in place then they cannot stake claim in those properties.

Dear Sir,

There are some judgments that say that inherited ancestral property can't be sold to a person outside the family. Using the same, your brother may file an injunction case. But, the case may not succeed because you are the sole owner of the property.

Nobody can stop you to do any legal action in your property or with your property. Right to property is your constitutional right and nobody can snatch this right from you by any legal means.

if you want to sell your properties, then do it and enjoy your life as per your choice. you are the sole and absolute owner of those properties.

 

legally they cannot stop you.
