Now i am 28 and i have my wife and 10 months kid but i do not have good relations with my mother now as she always has problems with our activities. Can i file a legal notice for the rights of my father's property(as of now in mother's name). I would be on road witg my young child as i do not have anything in hand to survive even. As money was going to my mother

If your father died intestate than you have half share in father's assets. Transfer of property in mother's sole name is invalid. You can file partition suit to claim your share. Since you are in possession of property, nominal court fees for partition suit.

Since the property was purchased by the father in the name of his wife, the wife your mother becomes the sole owner.

To claim the property, you need to issue a legal notice to the mother to claim your share.

If the mother is still not willing, then you can file a suit before the appropriate court and can claim your right in the property.

If the property belonged solely to your father then you your mother and your siblings have a share in the property. How could she have transferred all the property to herself?? 

Therefore file a partition suit against your mother.

If it was your father's property and he is reported to have died intestate then the property left behind by him shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs. 

You can file a partition suit to divide the property into equal shares and to allot you one share with separate possession.

1. IF Property/s were originally in name of Father and IF Father had not prepared any WILL, THEN your mother does not have 100% rights on entire property. However Mother will have 50% share in Property.

2. As a Hindu, you have inherent rights of 50% of Father's entire property, without any exceptions, whatsoever. Further you have inherent right to live /use /possess your late Father's property and this right cannot be legally taken away from you. 

3. Since Mother is not cooperative, you will have to file a Civil Court suit, for your 50% share of Father's entire property, by following due procedures of law.  This is 1000% possible in your favor.

1. If your father passed away intestate then on his demise all his properties devolved through intestate succession on his Class 1 heirs (widow and all children) equally.

2. You are free to file a suit for partition in the civil court to cull out the separate possession of your share in the property.

You can simply add your name in the property card because its your father's property. No need to worry a mother don't hurt to her own child. She may be shouting at you people but her intention may not to harass you people. 

 

Kindly understand her also and think from her way also..... if you are alone son who she will give property keeping you away from it.

See the title of the property has to be seen, in case if before demise of father property was on his name and there is no will then you have right in the property and you may file suit of partition for same.

Further if property is registered in name of mother you have no right in the property and no suit is maintainable.

1. No need to send a legal notice if property is still to be transferred on name of legal heirs.

2. You can make application to get legal heir certificate of your father from tehsildar and apply for mutation of property on name of you and your mother. 

3. If mother refuse to go for partition then file partition suit to claim your share from father's property.

- As per law, after the death of father without leaving any WILL , his property would be devolved upon his legal heirs , i.e wife and children . 

- It means that after the death of your father  , your mother cannot claim entire share in the property ,which includes also minors/yours share as well.

- Further legally , no person including mother have right to occupied the property of a minor , without  getting permission from the Court. 

- Hence , after attaining major , now your share is intact there , and you have your legal right to ask for the same.

- Yes,before filing a suit , you should issue a legal notice to your mother for partition of the property , left by your father , in the form of land or amount. 

- If no response , then you can claim the share after filing a suit for Declaration and Partition before the court. 

 

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positive.
