Can any Claim be made by siblings on self acquired property


02-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
Dear Sir / Madam, In 1995, I bought a piece of land with house in my parent's name for my parents. I am an NRI. In the title deed, the property is partitioned as follows - Total land 22 cents - 11 cents in my name, 5 cents in father's name and house and 6 cents in my mother's name. Before dying, my father made a registered will stating that his 5 cents will come into my name after his death. In the title deed, it is written that I paid the entire money for the property. It is also written that my parents can only stay and use the property and it's income (like trees, etc.) till their end of life, after that the property is solely in my name. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother as well. I would like to know if there is a chance that they can make any claim on the property.

No. Your siblings cannot make any claims over your self acquired property. The opinion is subject to the verification of the title document. Final opinion can be given on perusing the entire recitals in the document.

From the facts stated the property belongs to you and your siblings cannot make any claim. It appears that your mother is still alive. in order to make matters more secure, she can make WILL in your favour. It is not necessary that a Will be registered.
