Sharing ancestral property


01-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
About 5 years back my father in law sold a part of his property (about1.5 acres) to one of his daughters without the consent of other two daughters for 6 lakhs and he is spending the same. We came to know about this only recently.Now the sold property is worth 50 lakh or more.Is it legally valid? Can we move legally so that everyone gets equal benefits? Kindly advise. We are From Hindu family.

No information is furnished as to how the property is ancestral. Your father-in-law, during his lifetime, can deal with his self-earned property as he wishes. Please note that family property inherited through partition, family settlement, gift or will is not ancestral, but self-earned.
