Hi,
My Grandfather purchased some land in 1971 but there was no formal paper work done.He divided the portion in three parts and gave 1 to his elder son and 1 to his second son. In the third portion he was living himself. Since at the time of dividing the youngest son was unmarried so he kept my youngest uncle with himself. There was no formal paper work dividing the land among the three sons. After the death of both my Grandparents, my youngest uncle sold the portion of land in which he was living to someone in village without consulting his brothers. My question is,
1) Since both the seller of land and the buyer of land (my grandfather) are dead, and no paper work was done at the time of sale, who is the owner of land?
2) Is it not mandatory on my uncle's part to ask his brothers first, if they are intersted in buying the land before selling it to third party?
3) What are the options with his brothers to get the land back as for us it is ancestral house and we do not want it to be sold to someone else?
