Law suit by brother for division of ancestral property
My father died in 2000, leaving a property on his name, with no will. We were 3 brothers and 4 sisters, all married. I am eldest brother and youngest died. My second brother is in Canada and he wants division of property. We are in possession of paper and keys.
He has asked us to sell property many times in past but we refused to do that alone saying that we wont do that without presence of all living siblings.
Now there have been many instance of verbal abuses from both sides as he drinks and call us from Canada, some of these call might have been recorded by him.
Now he has send us notice that we have intimidated him and we are in intention of keeping the property to ourselves.
My questions are:
1. Am I in problem regarding those calls?
2. I do want this property to be sold and divided between all those who have a right in it. My father has passed in 2000, and I have heard that supreme court recently passed law that if father have passed before 2005 then daughters don't have a right in house..
3.Does my brother needs to be physically present at time of this case.
4. I do not have any trust on my siblings regarding selling of this property, so can I ask Court to supervise the selling of the property.
