Ancestor property

Sir,

My grandfather bought a house 50 Years back in my grandmother name. My dad spent his money to repair and add one more floor to this house. My grandmother written a will against my dad name, later my grandmother changed the will to my name. Last month my grandmother passed away. My grandparents has 3 daughter and 1 son(my dad).

Now my dad sisters want share in this house, my grandfather is still alive and he is living with me. Do I need to give share to them? Please reply to my queries.

Additional inforamtion:

My Dad took a loan against the house 4 years back, I repayed the entire loan. Now the house documents are with me.

As per your query, the house in question belongs to your grandmother and your grandmother's has bequeathed the property to you by way of will. You need not share the property with your aunts. Approach court with the will and request for a probate which shall be granted to you.

Based on the will, you only got share. None other than you can claim.

So better arrange for execution of the same.

I Agree with the Opinions of Lrd Friends .

If there si no Will Deed in your favour , the Claims of your aunts are Correct .

Your Grand Mother not allowed Your Father & aunts, to succeed the proerty , by executing the Will Deed in your favour !

Dear Prasanna

Your grandmother bequethed the property in your name which will come into effect after the demise of your grandmother and nobody and you need not share the property with anybody. Only thing that you have to look into the Will that whether there is clause giving life interest on your grandfather by your grandmother, if not you are the only person entitled absolutely for the property mentioned in the Will.
