My grandfather's property was given to my uncle, but my father did
15-Feb-2025 (In Property Law)
My grandfather's property was given to my uncle, but my father did not sign a release deed but only signed as a witness on the land document, this means my father did not officially relinquish his legal right to a share in the property, even though he may have agreed to the transfer verbally or by signing as a witness; can I or my father could potentially have a legal claim to a share of the property depending on the laws in jurisdiction and the specific details of the land document?
It is not clear how your grandfather's property was 'given' to your uncle - was it by way of a gift deed or a Will? If it was your grandfather's self-acquired property, he had every right to gift it to your uncle without any other legal heir's consent. Then there is no question of your father 'relinquishing' his share in it.

hi, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, if there has been no release deed signed, then your father being the legal heir in the event of it being an ancestral property will have claim over his share, whereas on it being a self acquired property your father will have no legal right, thank you, you can contact me for further clarifications
