If the same was purchased  in ravi name she can't claim as same becomes ravis property. She needs to file a separate suit to claim that the same was only purchased in ravis name for a just name sake but intention was to built family property

Daughter can claim share in property as bought in son R nabe for benefit of joint family 

 

2) R had no source of income for purchase of property and hence daughter can claim share in property

Hello,

  1. As the property is registered in the name of Ravi's son, it cannot fall in the category of property to be inherited and therefore apparently the daughter cannot make a legal claim for a share.
  2. That the son didn't have independent income at the relevant time, and he did not purchase it with his money does not in itself disqualify is absolute ownership or entitle other legal heirs.

Son and daughter  have equal share in the  property purchased by Ravi. A portion of property is sold by son in 2015. Ravi and his wife passed away in 2019 and 2021. As daughter  have half share in the property, she can claim the  part of property sold in excess of share of son, that is more than his half share. If the  portion sold is half of the  property, daughter  can claim remaining unsold half property purchased by Ravi. She can file a suit for partition  and separate possession of her share. Add brother as defendant  No. 1 and purchaser of property as defendant No. 2 to the  suit. Include the  property sold by son in the  suit. Court will divide the  property equally declaring you (daughter) as owner of half share and putting you in possession of half share. You can file suit in Section 26 of Civil Procedure Code, 1908.

Since the property was registered on the name of his son, the legal heirs of Ravi cannot claim any rights over the property because it becomes Ravi's son's absolute and own property by the virtue of the registered sale deed on his name even though his father had fully funded for the purchase of the said property.

- As per law, if the said property was purchased in the Ravi who was a major , then after his death the said  property  would be devolved upon all his legal heirs. 

- Further, he was having his right to sell the said property without taking the consent of his father , if he was not having any objection for the same. 

- Further, the daughter of Ravi has no right to claim over the property which is in the name of Ravi son.

Actually, your father has the power to dispose of the property in whatsoever manner he desires as it is his self-acquired property. However, if you think there is Undue influence or Coercion from your brother on your father to transfer the property, the same can be contested or you can also prove that the money used to buy the land was not really your father's self-earned but was gained through the ancestral property (like by selling it or from the profit made out of it).
