Muslim Family. After death of my father a Family settlement was made with signatures of Mother sisters and brothers on a Stamp Paper and notarized in 1999. The land in the schedule still stands in the of the Brothers who were the owners since Fathers lifetime. The settlement was made in such ahurry that Property of my wife and son(not a part of my Family) were included without their knowledge and consent. Now sisters have filed a prtition suit for execution of the said family settlement suit. Is the Family settlement maintainable. How will my wife and son establish their property?

If the property is in the name of your wife and children then you must have sale deed by showing the same you can save the same from settelment. And take the said stand in your written statement and if you have the proff of payment made by u against the purchase of said property it will be good for you.

No one can take away your wife and sons property if it is in there name and if the proceedings for execution of family arrangements has been initiated without impleading them as party the your wife and son will have to file an petition in the court where the matter is pending for impleading them as necessary party
