Regarding Hindu Family Property Sharing
Respectful Lawyers Need your help on understanding property registration. We are hindu family of 3 brothers. My elder brother is son of first wife of my father, after fathers first wife was dead due to health issues my mother got married. Both are sisters. Now the issue is 10 years back my father purchased a land by selling our ancestor property from my uncle(mothers brother) and registered on my elder brothers name. Me and my younger brother were young and not aware of it. Now we are all got married and when it comes to property sharing. My father asked everyone to share equally. My elder brother is refused to share the property he is owning and saying it is on his name. My father shocked hearing from him and helpless. We dont want to fight for the property. Now my father come up with the idea to register another property on my and younger brother name which is not ancestor property though it was came as share of my father from his brothers, That property was bought by my father and his brothers and registered on my fathers name. Can my elder brother claim share on this property? Since this property is not ancestor and was brought by my father and hos brothers and is in my fathers name. Can we have full rights to own the property. Please help us to understand legally. Thanks in Advance Bala

My dad has 3 male and 2 female siblings, so including my dad there are 4 sons and 2 daughters to my grand dad. there is only one small house, and a little agricultural land. about 15-18years ago, in presence of village elders, there was sharing process. as we are 3 daughters to my dad and only my dad and mom took care of my grand parents, the house was given only to my dad. and the agricultural land was shared btw all 4 sons of my grand parents. as the house was very old and because of the heavy rain, some part of the house collapsed. and we reconstructed almost 50% of our house and spent approx 3 lakhs. we lost our dad in an accident 4 years back, and now my uncles, siblings of my dad are asking the share in our house. and one of my uncle keeps coming to our house when my mom is alone and starts fighting with her. and there were no registration/legal document done during the last sharing of the assets, 15-16 years back. Can you suggest how we can tackle this problem, correctly/legally?

Background of the Case: This is a partition suit between 4 siblings in the state of Karnataka. Plaintiff (one of the siblings) has filed a partition suit with remaining 3 siblings. Out of the 3 siblings 2 are deceased (1 brother and 1 sister) hence their respective wife and children are included in the defendant. (overall 9 defendants) So Plaintiff is claiming for 1/4th of the share along with expenses he made on the properties/agricultural land to improve their state. Out of the listed properties in the partition suit, the estimate value plaintiff has mentioned is 4CR INR, with 1/4th share to be 1CR INR. Plaintiff is claiming 1CR + 45 lakhs (his expenses). Although the benefits of the investment have not been mentioned in the form of rents/crop harvest by Plaintiff and one of the Defendants. So in this case not sure if the document correctly represent this value. There is one lawyer being being appointed to represent all 11 defendants except one defendant who benefited from the rent and might have their own lawyer. I have two questions: I am one of the defendants in the suit. My mother(deceased) is one of the siblings, hence I get 1/4th of 1/4th share of this partition suit. Current estimate share as per the partition suit document is 25 lakhs INR. 1. The next hearing is on 19/12/2020 (looks like Lok Adalat in Karnataka is happening on the same date), should I hire a lawyer to request for more time given that I just got the notice recently. How can I access the case document online and not the case status. 2. How much is average lawyer fees for this partition suite if I hire my own layer to raise objections on the list of properties, his claim on expenses, etc. and go all the way. 3. How much is my Court fees i.e. defendant in this case? Is there a percentage of my share that I should be looking at for Karnataka state? Is there any online link that I can refer?

My father owns a flat, but he can't find the original purchase agreement nor are any copies available. However he has a letter from the bank stating that the loan he had taken on the flat, which has been issued around 28 yeas ago. He also has the original share certificate from the society. How can we get the same legally regularised to avoid any future problems
