We are six sisters and all are married. We are muslims .Our parents are dead.There is an ancestral property gifted to my mother by my grandfather ( haven't seen the property papers myself, however my mother used to tell me this ). There is no Will.
2 of my sisters live with their family in the property and a part of the property is locked up by my third sister.
The property tax for the property has not been paid for many years now and none of the sisters are taking care of the maintenance of the property nor paying any rent.
Please can someone guide me on the below
1. Do all sisters have equal rights on the property
2. Can anyone stake a claim to the property by just paying the outstanding property tax
3 If any of the sister try to unknowingly usurp the property can they do it and what rights have the other sisters in such a situation, can they seek legal recourse
Even if the property is not gifted by my grandfather, and if my father had purchased the property in my mother's name do any of the sisters usurp the property
