The ancestral property belongs to the legal heirs unless anyone has a will. Yes you can take your share/the whole property if the you a will.
Two children live abroad,2 in india. This happened 15 years ago without the childrens knowledge in south TamilNadu. Can we recover our ancestral home?
I have a will in which she left me the home.
Can i file a case now?
Thank you

Do i have to file the case in Tamil Nadu or in my homerown Bangalore
You have to file suit to set aside sale deed
2) seek injunction restraining buyer from selling the property
3) take the plea that fraudulent sale was discovered recently
4) that mother is not educated and was unaware of contents of documents signed by her
Will takes effect only on death of testator
in present case mother in her lifetime sold property rendering will ineffective
If the children are entitled to a share in the property then without the consent or permission of the children, others cannot take away the property.
If there is a Will, then you can enforce the same, if you feel that it is barred by limitation then you can approach court with a probate petition to probate the Will.
If the property is located in Tamilnadu then you may have to file case in Tamilnadu only and not in Bangalore.
- If your mother was having the said property in her name , then after her death you have right to claim over the same.
- Further, if anyone has taken that property fraudently then it can be cancelled after filing a suit before the Court.
- Since, there is WILL left by your mother , then you can claim that property as per law.
- Firstly sent a legal notice to him and instruct him to vacate and handover the possession of the property to you , otherwise you will be constrained to file criminal and civil cases against him.
- If no response, then file a suit for Declaration and possession with injunction before the court for declaring his property documents null and void and to take possession of the property and to restrain him from selling the property.
