HELLO,

1) In the absence of a Will by your grandfather, despite the property being transferred in your father's name your aunt can claim a share in the property.Therefore the burden to prove that the property was transferred in your father's name by the express consent of all will be upon you. Besides this you need to obtain a copy of the said Will to substantiate your claim of the Will of GF.

2) The son of the deceased aunt of yours has a share in the property too.

3) Should there be a dispute he can himself stake his claim or alternately your aunt can adopt him and with the adoption his share too will go to her.

4) As your aunt has already filed a case in the court for partition and got an injunction against alienation of property you need to defend the case.You need to show proof of all your claims.

1. If your grandfather had made a will during his lifetime the same would take effect after his demise. The will of your grandfather will prevail over any other instrument of transfer of property which had been made after his demise.

2. Unless your aunt can prove that she is a shareholder according to the will of her father she is not entitled to a share in the property, more so in view of the fact that she had consented to the transfer of the same to your father.

3. The children of deceased aunt have a share in the property unless the will provides for the contrary,

4. Engage a lawyer to contest the case on merits lest she walks away with a stay order in her favour and also a share in the property.

1) aunt would not have any share in property which has been transferred in your father name in 1979

2) it is necessary to produce the will of your grandfather in this regard

3) son of predeceased aunt would not have share as per will of your grandfather

The property originally belonged to your grandfather and incidentally it was his self acquired property.Though your grandfather is reported to have given a dying declaration that the property shall be inherited by your father, this being not a will, it cannot be considered as a legal act by your father to acquire the entire property on that basis, his acquisition is illegal and invalid in law.

Your grandfather was blessed with four children however on his death only two were surviving, but there is no mention about the status of the deceased children i.e., whether they both were married and were survived by their legal heirs during at the time of their death.Assuming that one of the child was married and was survived by legal heirs, and the surviving legal heir is the son presently residing with the unmarried aunt, In the given situation the property acquired by your father is liable to be divided into four shares which will,include besides your father, your grandmother, your unmarried aunt and the son of the deceased aunt.

If the property was transferred on your father's name by a registered document acting on the so called will (which can be treated as unregistered family settlement or on the basis of mutually agreed oral settlement),then the claim by your aunt or her nephew may not maintainable in law. Especially you can fight it out on the grounds that since on a mutually agreed terms the aunt was given the privilege of grandfather's compassionate grounds employment, your father was was given the property as a compensation in lieu. This is how you can tackle the issue at present.

All your subsequent questions have been answered in the above lines.

Can she ask the court for the division of property if she wants and we don't.

Can she will this property to anyone if we continue to have joint ownership.

What will happen after her death as she is unmarried, who will be her legal heirs in this case. Have read that in that case, her father, i.e my grandfathers legal heirs will have the claim, which are we.

You are right, in the absence of class I legal heirs or class II legal heirs, the property will revert to her father side and his legal heirs shall acquire the same.

What should be more beneficial for us to go about, i.e whether to get the division or let the property be as it till the time she is there, as we are not in any need to sell or dispose the property or to fight her claim basis the circumstantial facts and proofs we have
