• Inheritance to daughters

My 2 sisters got married 7-10 years before the act for equal share of property to daughters came. Their marriage were well planned. My uncle (my mother's sister husband) purchased a big site in which my mother was partner. As per local law, the site cannot be sold to others before 15 years. After the 15 years, the site was transferred to my younger sister from my uncle where my mother and sister were witnesses to the registered site deed. My father and mother died in 2005 and 2006 within a gap of 8 months intestate. There was an LIC policy in mother's name where we all 3 children were nominees. As LIC would give only one cheque, I and my younger sister gave consent to take that money to my elder sister. I live in the house where parents used today now. Even after 14 years of negotiation, they are not ready for settlement. The house was inherited by my grandfather to my father. what is the solution I can pursue in this case of acquiring this house. Is there any limitation act for this. Please suggest

You and your siblings have equal share in the house inherited by your father 

 

only if your siblings execute gift deed or relinquishment deed would you be absolute owner of property

1. In view of intestate death of your parents, the share in the property devolves equally to you and to your 2 sisters in 1/3rd share.

2. If your two sisters' voluntarily execute a registered Release Deed relinquishing their share in the property in your favour, you can become Absolute Owner of the property you are living in. There's no limitation in the instant case.

The house property belonged to your deceased father. 

Upon his intestate death this property shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs consisting his three children. 

You are entitled for one third share in the property. 

If they don't agree for an amicable partition you can file a suit for partition and separate possession of your legitimate share in the property. 

There's no limitation to file partition suit.

Legally on death of your parents all of their children have got equal share in this. 

Therefore to resolve the dispute amicably make our if court settlement. 

Otherwise if any of you file a suit for partition the respective shares would be declared by court and subsequently partitioned by metes and bounds.

The ancestral property has to be divided equally amongst you. It would have been better if things had worked out peacefully but if they are not then a partition suit has to be filed.

They have a share legally.

Dear Sir,

Possession is nine points in law and thus you continue enjoying the entire house property and for the purpose of getting other benefits you have to get issue a legal notice and then approach Civil Court.

Daughters have equal rights in the property and you have rights on the ancestral house and you need not go out of house as the house is under your possession. Do you can give their share by way of settlement deed by adjusting cash or other properties share.
