• Relinquishing right to property

Hello,

My father has been in litigation since the past many years with his siblings over his property. His siblings have claimed his properties belong to grandfather (he died Intestate) but my fathers defence was that he purchased all his properties with his own earnings. Litigation has been ongoing since past 30 years. Meanwhile my father has done third party agreements and taken money from other parties. My father passed away in October due to medical issues. 

I am not interested in the litigation or any part of his assets or liabilities. Can I file an application in the court to relinquish all of my rights?

You can execute a registered release deed relinquishing your rights in the property that you are entitled, provided the person from whom you inherit the property should have a clear and marketable title to the property.

If the case is going on, you can decide whether to conduct it as your father's legal representative or not.

If the liabilities are more than the value of properties likely to come to father’s  share, the debtors can recover the same from his share of liabilities. Creditors cannot seek any recovery of dues out the properties that will come to the share of other legal heirs. If the value of assets is more than liabilities incurred by deceased father, outstanding of creditors can be satisfied from such assists and left over will be divided as per the decree of Court. You are not required to anything, creditors cannot come to you for recovery of father’ debt. There is absolutely no any necessity to relinquish anything. Creditors have right to recover only out of the share debtor (father) they cannot touch share that occurred to others irrespective whether the value of share of debtor is sufficient to satisfy the debt or not. That is the law.

The legal heirs can be held liable to the extent of the property/assets inherited from the deceased and not beyond that. 

If you people relinquish your rights then you have not inherited any share in the property of deceased hence you cannot be directed to repay any debts of the deceased.

Since your father has done third party agreements and taken money from other parties it is better you continue the suit proceedings 

 

you are liable for your father debts to extent of your inheritance 

 

you can enter into consent terms with your uncles .file consent terms in court wherein they repay money payable to third parties

- Yes, you can file an application before the said court after mentioning that you being the legal heirs of your father , don't want any share in the property , if opposite party is ready to settle the liabilities of father. 

- You can take POA from other legal heirs for filing an application before the court and to settle the dispute .
