Ancestral property without any documents


31-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
We have been living and cultivating crops in our ancestral agricultural land for the past 4 years. We don't even have any records in registrar office. and we want to make it clear documents now. we are at 3rd generation now. And all are separate their part through "Oral Partition" done about 30 years back equally. So all are living in their own portion and doing agriculture of their own. But now one of our siblings is not willing to come for documentation, and So i filed a case " Declaration suit" for our portion which we are enjoying. it's almost three years from case filed date. still my lawyer is delaying for getting result. and only getting money. we have almost lost our all money with him and still no action. Now no money to spend.  So now is it any other way possible to get record /document our own portion without this lawyer, if so what is an ideal way to to get document our portion of land and house. Can you give a right solution to me.

Find out from the court what is the current status and normally delay is usual and it is better to discuss with the concerned lawyer and ask him to speed up the matter . If you are not happy with him find a good lawyer in that area and change the advocate.

As a declaratory suit is subsisting, only the court can decide on your title and ownership. If you are dissatisfied with the services of present your lawyer, you may engage some other lawyer to continue your suit.

You cannot claim the property without any documents. You can get title through adverse possession, as you said you had it for more than 70 year and all records in municipal offices were in your fathers name.
