My mother's father have 5 children, 2 boys and 3 girls, he died when my mother was a kid. my mother's mother is still alive and is 95 yrs old.
My mother's mother has gifted my mother a land after marriage. and We have constructed a house on the land and we are residing on this land/property for 30 years around, but recently my uncle and all there siblings (all 4 children) is demanding for this property and he want a division of the land. since this land is registered to all the 5 memebers, my uncle is trying hard to disconnect the electric connection which was on my mother name previously. so he has filed a case in the court of law..
my maternal grandfather has other property which my uncles are using it. and my mother is not demanding anything from those property. only thing I we are trying to protect is the land where we stayed for 30 year.
I got to know that all children have equal rights on ancestral property, so all can demand. My question is
1. Can it be possible to stop dividing legally. and ask the court to negotiate and we can pay the land price, which my uncle are not ready to accept. ??
2. if we fail to protect our land on which the we have the house then can mother demand for the partition of all the property? if yes what will be the procedure ? how long the court process goes for division of the complete property.
3. can we ask the court to give a stay order so that unless the complete division doesnot takes places, no one can take any action like disconnection or transferring of electric connection to my uncles/ maternal grand mothers name.
