Family Property Forgery by her own brother


31-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
This is a teenage from Virudhunagar, Tamilnadu. We are Hindus. My grandfather (mother's side) has properties in virudhungar. As my grandfather died decades ago (1999), all the property documents are with my grandmother. My grandfather had 3 daughters and 1 son. My mom is 3rd daughter. A few years back without my mom's permission they got PATTA for all the property documents in his only son's name. As my mom did not know about it at that time. However, almost 3 years before my mom got a call from a PATTA office, asking that are you ok with getting PATTA for the property in her brother's name. This was asked by a government official at the PATTA office. She immediately denied approval. Then they weren't able to get the PATTA for that property. For all other properties, they have used some other persons on behalf of my mom and got approval for getting the PATTA. My mom needed, what she deserved to get according to our Indian law. Kindly advise us on how to proceed.

Initially you have to gather some details of your property for further legal proceedings. If you know the survey number details of your property, then you can easily find out the Encumbrances of your ancestral property.

No need to worry. Patta is not the only document that decides the ownership of a property. As a legal heir of your grandfather she is entitled to one fifth share in all the properties. Regarding patta for properties issued without your mother's consent, your mother can file a complaint with the revenue authority and cancel the same or request for issue of fresh patta.
