Buying property

We have found an old house in Gobindapur owned by an old gentleman who lives with his wife. His only son is married with a daughter but doesn't stay with them. The owner says that his son will not sign the Sale Deed as witness but our lawyer says that it is a must, considering that the son might file a lawsuit challenging the sale. The old man says that if we insist on having his son's signature, he will not sell to us.
 
What should we do ?
Regards,
S Basu

Dear Basu,

You need not take his son's consent if the property has been bought out of his savings( Self acquired property) or if the property is on the lady's name.This applies only if the vendor's are hindus.

If it is self acquired property of the old parents then consent of his is not required.  If it is ancestral property old parents can sell their share

His son signing as a widness is not  enough.... He should also be the party in the sale deed.If  the property is ancestral one.  

Attesting as a widness to the  sale deed cannot be taken as his consent  to sell his share....

Dear Basu,
