Son in law can claim father in laws property when his wife expired?
08-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
We have a landed property in my father's name. My parents died.. we are 8 brothers and sisters.. one sister died. We 7 brothers and sisters and my niece (deceased sisters daughter) are now legal heir. We made my niece as a co owner of the landed property.. Now nieces father (son in law) is also claiming as a co-owner of the said property. My question is that his claim is right ? We now want to develop the landed property. I want to know is it necessary to obtain his consent or signatures at the time of execution of development agreement with the promoter? Pl. Advise the way out of the problem so that we can make the deal with the promoter peacefully..
