Hi Lawyers,
My father obtained a peice of land from his mother as per her will. The land was originally registered in her name as per the land registry act and occupancy certificate given. On her death and as per her will my father became an absolute owner of the property. I (youngest son) was always given an impression that this land will be equally divided amongst us and I was told of a will which my mother would execute after my fathers death. My father passed away a couple of years ago and now on enquiring I find that the registered will was cancelled using a deed of cancellation while my father was alive and registered with the sub registrar. In lieu of the will, a settlement deed is executed in favour of my sister. No where in the settlement deed is anything mentioned about me. When I asked my sister for my share I was refused my share and also that I have no right on this property. All the land records show that the property is in the name of my sister and no where is my name mentioned. I have the following questions.
Is this property ancestral.
Do i have a right on this property being the son
What is the way to get my share in this property.
Can I chalange this settlement deed.
