Dear client,
Potentially Challenging the Demand:
There might be grounds to challenge your uncle's demand depending on the specifics of the situation. Here are some factors to consider:
Content of the Partition Deed: A well-drafted partition deed should clearly outline the specific portions allocated to each beneficiary. If the deed clearly assigns the property to your father, it strengthens your case.
Pressure to Sign Separate Agreement: If your father signed the separate agreement under duress, this could be argued in court. Evidence supporting this claim would be helpful.
Validity of Separate Agreement: Without details of the agreement, it's hard to say for sure. An agreement lacking specifics like the property's designated portion might be deemed unenforceable.
