What is ancestral property ?

Property inherited upto 4 generations of male lineage (i.e., father, grand father, etc.) is called as ancestral property. The right to a share in such a property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner. The rights in ancestral property are determined per stripes and not per capita. This means that the share of each generation is first determined and the successive generations in turn sub divide what has been inherited by their respective predecessor.

What is not ancestral property ?

Properties inherited from mother, grandmother, uncle and even brother is not ancestral property. Property inherited by will and gift are not ancestral properties. Self acquired property on the other hand can become ancestral property only if it is thrown into the pool of ancestral properties and enjoyed in common. This is a matter to be determined on the facts and circumstances of the case.

Property inherited by a Hindu from his father, father's father or father's fathers' father, is ancestral property. Property inherited by him from other relations is his separate property. The essential feature of ancestral property is that if the person inheriting it has sons, grandsons or great-grandsons, they become joint owner's coparceners with him. They become entitled to it due to their birth. A person inheriting property from his three immediate paternal ancestors holds it, and must hold it, in coparcenary with his sons, sons’ sons and sons’ sons’ sons’ but as regards other relations he holds it and is entitled to hold it, as his absolute property

Under family pressure my husband was forced to sign on aapsat vatni patra ( division of property paper) in 1992 which is unregistered. Instead of my husband can i claim over my husbands share ????

=You cannot claim, But your husband can claim. The aapsat vatni patra is not valid, as it is unregistered. So, you husband is entitled for his share of property irrespective of the unregistered deed.

property is ancestral , my in laws dead and the property is under younger brother in law hand

=You have not disclosed that on whose name the property was registered your mother in law or father in law. As you said that it is ancestral, I can understand that it was in the name of your father in law.

now we are not financially capable to bare court stamp duty.

=The case of partition suit is pending. Your shares will be distributed in the suit itself at the time of Judgement. Then whenever you have money, you can transfer the share on your husband name by paying the stamp duty of your share amount.

our ancestral property valuation is 50 crores whether we have to pay 10 percent of if as stamp duty ????

=No, one percent + registration charges is enough.

if yes is there any other way to avoid this expense ???

=No, do not look for avoiding the expense. It is for your benefit only. Make some loan and arrange amounts. After the property registered on your name, sell some part of the land to third persons and discharge your loan amount.

my brother in laws aren't ready to cooperate regarding the partition

apart from advocate fee what are the expected expense in the court ???

how long these cases usually prolong ???

==If your brother in law are not cooperating, your husband can file a separate partition suit. Apart from advocate fee and court fee, you have to spend about 50 thousand until you get judgement.
