I am a daughter(over 18 & married), where my mother is alive but father is not alive. I have a unmarried brother who is 18+ age. My grandfather had 2 children. My father and his sister. grandfather, father and his sister, all three is not alive. After my marriage, my mother and brother staying in a home since many years. But now my Bua's children ( children of my father's sister) has started asking their share on property by 50%. and their argument is this property(home) should be divided between my father and his sister equally. there was no will made by my grandfather or my father. Can you please let me know if their claim is valid and legal? How can I secure my mother's home?

Legally if there is not will so there is a right of both child your father and sister equally on your property but in this case you can give the value of flat or house half and maintain the possession of house with you itself any other help let us Know thanks

Well, first of all, you have to figure out that the Property which you are talking about is Ancestral or Self-made Property of your father. If it is the ancestral one, then your Father's Sister despite being married is entitled to claim & get her share in such Property. If it is Self-made & no 'Will' was made as you are saying so, then the title of ownership of the Property (Home) is with your Mother & your unmarried Brother, means, they are the owners by the way of Inheritancy rights.
