What procedure to follow to file case of property with multiple heirs


12-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
This is regarding family settlement issue between 2 sons and 4 daughters. While doing family settlement we discussed and everybody accepted the dividing the property. While dividing 2 sons will take the property and for 4 daughters will be settled by cash instead of property. this is deal made. Later we settled the amount to 4 daughters. But now 1 daughter sent the caveat notice to 2 brothers and mother and arguing to divide the property. We paid all the amount her and failed we to get signature in bond/stamp paper. with 1 daughter we completed the registration process. With other 2 daughters we got signature in stamp/bond paper stated that we paid the amount against the property /family settlement. The property is purchased by my mother and she made the registered the property in the name of 2 sons. Now we are very much confused. What we need to do? Wither we can file the case against them or we need to raise any complaint. please advise.

If your mother purchased the property out of her own earnings, it is up to her decision. No son or daughter shall interfere with the property purchased out her earnings till her death. According to you she has settled the property by the means of settlement deed to 2 sons, since it is her decision and daughters have no right to claim any share.

There are certain clarifications required : 1.) How did the property come to a family settlement between 6 legal heirs? 2.) Has he mother registered the property in favour of the sons? 3.) When did the property devolve? (before or after 2005??)

After the amendment of 2005 to the Hindu Succession Act 2005 the status of women in the inherited property is that of a coparcener and they have got equal rights like men in the property . Your sister can challenge it in a court of law.
