occupant / legal hires right

ankita Bhonsle (Querist) 08 July 2015 This query is : Resolved
Hi, I live in Mumbai, our property is going for redevelopment. After my grandfather's demise(1988), my grandmother was living in the said property. Our family I.e my dad mom me and my brother are living here from past 17 years. My grandmother made a will in my dad's name for the said property. But we could not register the same. Now my dad has 7 elder siblings who have claimed for the property in mahada, and the builder is not ready to make an agreement with us. He is asking us to issue a possession letter signed by dad, and in return he is giving us the rent cheque and no other legal document from his side.

Documents with us: Grandmother's will Ration card - in the name of my dad Light bill in grandmother's name Rent receipt in grandfather's name Can we demand for an agreement. How much % are we entitled. We do not wish to sell the property. As occupants are we entitled for an agreement. Can we file a suit against the builder.

Need help!

Who is the original owner of the property?

Grandfather or Grandmother?

Is it self acquired property?

In presidential towns e.g. Mumbai the WILL is to be Probated.

Consult in person an able lawyer dealing in property/revenue/family/civil matters and show all docs on record and proceed under the expert advise of your lawyer.
