Income from House Property.

Dear Ld Friends,

Query regarding Income from Ancestral house property

The said property is still not divided and it has legal heirs of 8 members (i.e. Mother with 4 sons and 3 daughters).

It seems the 1st son was given power and consequently, he was collecting the rental income from the said property.

It seems, the 1st son misused the collections, as he does not want to show the accounts details to any of his family members and / or especially to his last brother, who is interested to know the details (as he has been given inconvenience by all other family members).

1. Whether rental income from ancestral house property shall be divided for all the legal heirs equally and is it legally valid to ask for a share on such income.

Ans : ..............

2. Whether any family member has a legal right to ask the concerned person for accounts (and it may be noted, the property is still undivided).

Ans : ..............

3. The last brother has a doubt on the activity of his 1st brother, as the 1st brother might be using the rent collections for his family purpose fully and this might be continuing for several years. Now, whether the last brother has a legal right to ask for details of accounts from his 1st brother.

Ans : ..............

If I have not properly expressed my query, please appropriate the same and express your advise to proceed on the matter. Thanks in advance for all concerned.
