Hello,
We are two brothers and I am being the younger. My father recently passed away where the house property is under the name of my father and elder brother (Joint owner).
Correct me if I am not wrong, as per my knowledge I become the legal heir of this property. if yes than what procedure or action shall i take for not getting this property transferred or sold without my notice to/by my elder brother and what letter is required to be submitted to the society for non transfer or non change of ownership ?
Second, as per hindu law what percentage of share I hold if incase we sell this property in future?
Request you to please assist.
Regards !!
Dear querist, the property was purchased by your father and brother. So your father and brother have equal rights over the property. Now as your father died, his 1/2 share in the property shall devolve between you and your brother. You and your brother divide your father's half share property in two equal shares. That is your brother will get 3/4th share and you will get 1/4th share. If your brother wish to sell the property, he can sell his 3/4th share only. If he sell entire property, file case in court by consulting an advocate of your area.
