Rights of only daughter on property inherited through her parents
Sir,
My 80 year old widow grandmother (Mother's mother) is a Christian (Roman Catholic) by birth and an only daughter to her parents (both deceased). Following her father's death (in the absence of a registered will or gift deed from her father), she acquired one of his immovable properties, a piece of land which he had self acquired as she was the sole legal heir to the deceased. The Khatha and Pahani documents of the land were subsequently transferred to her name being the only daughter.
Now as she is in need of funds for her personal commitments and wants to sell this immoveable property acquired from her father to a 3rd party and needs to know if she requires the consent of all her major children (3 daughter's and 2 sons) to sell the property, do they have to also go with her to the sub-registrar's office to register the property to a 3rd party or can she single-handedly register the property.
If she singlehandedly registers/ sells the property, can her male children file a suit against her or the party to whom she sold the land claiming their rights on the property as ancestral?
Would it have made a difference had her father registered a gift-deed for this property in her name before death?
Please help suggest your opinion on this query.
PS: My grandmother has not acquired any movable/ immovable properties from her husband who passed away in 2009, he had nothing in his name and had not made any properties in his life time.
