Property purchased by me is registered in the name of my mother


11-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
I purchased a land for which i paid all the money, i did an agreement with the seller(i have original agreement) also all money is paid by cheque from my account. during registration of property i had some urgent work so i could not register in my name, instead i asked my mother to register in her name (I have the original sale deed). I has been 7 years now. However my mother also has another self occupied house which she has given my 2 bothers, with out giving me any share in the house. I wanted to sell the land, now my mother is refusing to give my land back, my brothers are keen to take it from her. My question is if she makes a will for this land to my brothers can i claim for the land from my brothers or if in case i take this land from my mother by negotiation can my brothers or their children claim from me in the future by saying mothers property. My mother is a Muslim and my father is a Hindu, she has not converted to Hindu, is there any relevance to Hindu Succesion Act

See if you have bought the property by paying from your pocket then it is a self acquired property and the rules of succession do not apply. If you have made the payment by way of cheque or RTGS for the property and also the agreement reflects your name then you have sufficient proof for your claim. To end whatever little dispute exiats, you should sell the property as soon as possible to prevent any dispute over the property.
