Joint family property

Rakshita (Querist) 03 August 2013 This query is : Resolved
My Grandfather has 7 children - 4 sons and 3 daughters. One son (who wasn't married and had no children expired two years back). Grandmother is also no more. I am the daughter of his youngest son. We live in joint family (separate kitchens).
My Grandfather stays with the elder brother of my father.Also the elder brother of my father declared himself bankrupt years back due to some business issues. He doesn't do anything now.(His wife is a doctor so he doesn't to work. Yeah.)My Grandfather is in his 90s. He understands everything but he has made no will and doesn't look like he wants to make one.
The elder brothers of my father have taken keys of my grandfathers locker. With their behavior from past few years, I know that they do make my grandfather sign some papers too. My grandfather does not actively participate and signs on whatever they give. I am not very proud to say that my father also doesn't fight with them. He doesn't speak anything against his brothers. It is sad.
So I have a feeling that my father's elder brothers have taken the property and my grandmothers lockers under their name and haven't left anything for my father.
I can give an example of the recent cheating that these people did. My Grandfather had made FDs for my brother and me when we were kids. My father's elder brothers made my grandfather cancel those FDs. My father said nothing.I am working professional so I stay in a different city.

Knowing all this things beforehand, is there any precaution/action I can take now ? I want to fight against all this cheap game that they have played against our family. For me it is not about the money involved but it is about the fight about my parents' rights. I don't want my mother to tolerate any injustice.
Looking forward for meaningful advice and suggestions.

Thanks.

it is your grandfather who is the main hero in your family and it is necessary for you to be in faith of your grandfather and live with your grandfather so the other party not to play a games with them.
What is the status of the other family members you not stated.

As the entire properties are self acquired of your grand-father so he is required to be taken into confidence by all of you and he should be persuaded to make a reasonable will in favour of persons of his liking. You all should do just one job to contact and win the trust and faith of your grandpa.
