Can My Uncle Claim Property Without Caring for Grandparents?
05-Sep-2024 (In Property Law)
My grandfather owned a house and passed away 10 years ago. My grandmother is now sick, and only my family takes care of her. My grandfather had 3 sons and 3 daughters. One of his sons, who left after marriage, provided no care or support to my grandparents. Despite this, he expects a share of my grandfather's house. The rest of the family disagrees due to his lack of involvement. Is he legally entitled to a share, and are there ways to challenge his claim or reduce it?
Family Settlement*: Try to negotiate a family settlement where Son A agrees to waive his claim or accepts a reduced share in the property and
File a suit in court to declare Son A's share in the
property, considering his negligence and abandonment. The court will decide on the share based on the evidence presented and File a partition suit to divide the property among all heirs, including Son A. The court will then decide on the share of each heir.
