Sale of ancestral property and share to the daughters


28-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
I live in Sirsi in Karnataka and am the only son with 4 sisters. My mother died long ago and my father died during 2002. After his death, the ownership of the ancestral property which was in his name was changed to my and all my 4 sisters name. Is this correct? As per the 9/9/2005 amendment to the succession of ancestral property my understanding is that since my father died prior to 2005 the property deed should not have featured any of my sisters and the ancestral property should have been in my sole name being the only son. If having the sisters name feature as co-owners was incorrect in the first place, can this be corrected/changed now? Now, if I want to sell off this property, do I need to split the returns with my sisters (or is it just because they feature as co-owners in the deed?). If yes, is that to be shared equally or what is the ratio? Two of my sisters have expired (2009 & 2013), so do their children need to be given the share? Please advice.

Here already name has incorporated in the khata's all your sisters name and also your name. At present no dispute. In ancestral property has to be decided equal share, and if you want sell the property all co owners consent is essential, if u want sell your share, then property has distribute their shares in RTC not joint ownership. Here two sister are expired, then their share should go to their childrens I.,e legal heirs. You want more information consult and get relief.

The ancestral property which was in your father name was changed to you and all your 4 sisters names is correct at that juncture.

Each one of them will get 1/5 share equally, the demised sisters legal heirs will get their mothers share.

sir, i studied your question, your question is not proper. you have not stated the correct facts . If there is no partition or settlement deed earlier to 2005 as stated in the act, then daughters are entitle for their respective shares. any how if you approach to me i can clarify the same.
