House in name of parents. Father died. Now brother trying to sell it.
28-Oct-2023 (In Property Law)
Father expired in 2008. The flat was on the name of father and mother. My elder brother is staying with mother since death. I was married, but after divorce i am staying in parental home since 2011. My elder brother is making our mother go against me and they want me to be removed from the house. What can i do in this situation? What if they are trying to sell the property? My elder brother is physically abusive. What else can i do with that respect? Police came and didn't help much.
The best recourse is to seek partition of the property. Also please inform if all the money to purchase was paid by father only. As in that case you shall be entitled for complete 1/3rd share in the entire property.

Since the property belonged to the parents, it will be considered to be their absolute property. After the death of the father, the property belongs absolutely to the mother and she has complete rights to dispose of the property. However, there are two things that you can do in the present situation:
1. Since the elder brother is manipulating the mother into ejecting you from the property and make the sale, you can challenge the sale as and when it is made on grounds of coercion and misrepresentation.
2. Since your brother is being physically abusive, you can file criminal charges of battery and assault against him.
However, the list of property related cases pending in India is long and the procedure is tedious. It is advisable to settle the matter amicably with your brother and mother. If need be, you can approach the local mediation centre to help you come up with a satisfactory solution.
