Succession of ancestral property that we didn't know existed
01-May-2023 (In Property Law)
What does the Law say? My grandmother (Mom of Mom), died in 1986 in Mumbai. my Mother was the only legal heir who also expired in 1992. My Father too expired in 1995. I have 3 sisters only. I came to know in 2017 when I visited my native place where my grandma was staying, that she owned some Agriculture Land properties around that area. When I explored the details of the holdings, one of the neighbour lawyer said we can claim some money on PURE out of court understanding ONLY and regularise the deed to entitle the present occupants without title. The Lawyer says Due to huge Time lapse ( 1986-2018 ) the law doesn't give us the entitlement to claim the property in our name ( me & my sisters ). We are confused. Hence we solicit expert advice.
If you have the relevant details such as survey number, boundaries and extent of holdings, check with the sub registrar's office in whose name the properties stand. Apply for an EC and check the facts. If evidence is on your side, file a suit at the district court for establishing your claim.
