1. Please note that from legal point they are the title holders of their shares of your grandmother's property title of which she had conveyed in their favours and not in favour of your father,

2. They had borne the expenses of your father which they could have refused to,

3. Your father and you can not claim any share of your Aunt's properties title of which have been conveyed to them by your Grandmother who was its owner before,

4. Your father should accept Rs. 1 Crore for the land which they have agreed to give since he has no legal right to claim share in their properties.

What is your father's opinion about this?

You say so much but you have told anything about your father's vies on this.

If your father had agreed to take that amount he only has to pressurise his sister to get that money in his own way and method.

Since this is oral agreement and no documentary evidence, if your father is planning to initiate any legal action on this, he may stand losing the benefits what was assured to him.

Hence this needs diplomatic thinking and careful handling.

Work out the strategies properly and bash your father's sister through counterblast action unless they will not give in to the pressures.

In this scenario it is for your father alone to file a suit for partition to cull out his share in the property in accordance with the Shariah. All the title deeds and the deeds of transfer of property have to be perused in a threadbare manner to ascertain whether your father has any right to seek partition. So consult a lawyer with the copies of the deeds.
