The flat i live in was owned by my mother who died in 1982 , my father was nominee but he too died in 1986. My elder sister married in 1994 and i have been living and maintaining the said flat all these years.The flat still stands in my mother's name and now society is going for redevelopment. My sister and i are not in good terms and the society wants us to resolve the transfer asap.
I have made a application to mainatin status quo ..but they say they need to make agreement with builder and need a name. My sister who has been married and away all these years is now making demands knowing her importance. I need to time to do the settlement with her .
1. Can the society force me (legal hier) into something i'm not interested in?
2. What happens if i don't sign the agreement with builder ?
3. Since i'm in possesion of the flat since all these years and mainating it ,can the staus quo be maintained even after the new busiding is ready ?
4. What do i need to do to safeguard my position?
Please Advice .
Thanks
