Hello everyone,
I have been a long time lurker of this forum but never registered until now 
-----------
We live in mumbai. My late father married twice since his first wife passed away. He has children from both wives. After father passed away in the 80s, the family entered into a long legal dispute over property which has finally concluded with the court judgement.
Fathers property of 600 sq meters has been divided into three shares:
1) 200sq mtrs to my uncle(he is my fathers brother)
2) 200sq mtrs to his first wife and their children
3) 200sq mtrs to his second wife and their children(I'm the son of this wife)
We have had enough. We are tried and exausted to fight anymore. All we want now is to erect a building on this 600sq mtr property.
We(ie, second wife family) have appointed a builder for this purpose. He is instructed to carry out the work by talking to all the three families.
I(second wife family) have submitted the following documents to this builder:
1) An MoU
2) Power of attorney
3) Letter of consent
The power of attorney says that "second wife" is the owner of "600 sq mtrs" of land but it is not true. There are two other families who own 1/3rd share each.
My question is why would a builder make this false claim? Is this possible? What is his intention?
-----------
I have to confess that we don't know the actual process of entering into a contract with a builder for erecting a building. I request the knowledgeable people on this forum to please provide as much information as possible to help me understand this thoroughly.
My sincere regards,
Anil Sawant
