Is it possible to cancel Gift settlement


27-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
Respected Sir, My mother has expired in 2010. I m having two younger brothers. My father has given a gift settlement of house which earned from his own source, to me on November 2012 without any conditions with the acceptance of my brother's, both have signed in a settlement deed as a witness. I have changed my name in patta. But still not changed Property Tax and other taxes. Is there any chances of my father can cancel the settlement? Can my father revoke the same ??? If my father writes a will. Is it becomes valid??. Can my brother's challenge me by making a case on me and they ask for a partition ?? Pls suggest sir. Waiting for your valuable reply sir.

Your father has no right to cancel the Settlement Deed executed in your favour. He can cancel the Settlement deed only with your consent. Your father cannot execute will with respect to the property already disposed by him absolutely in your favour.

Dear Client...

If its an unconditional Gift Settlement, then your father cannot revoke the same,

and coming to your brothers, the property is your father's self acquired, thus your brother cannot ask anything....

Try to change the property tax and other taxes to your name too..
