Now that she is 25 now wants to make a claim that her father forcefully sold apartment to us , she wants share in father property which was sold to us in 2003 and owners brother who is our neighbour threatens us to wait for court /advocate summons 

1) i want to know what are my current rights , can owners daughter claim after 20 years of Sale Deed 
2) What can i do about threats i receive stating we sold Apt to you for Pea nuts , he does not understand that 20 years back we paid the value what was prevailing at that time &  threats of court case 
3) While going up or down the stairs he scares my children and always quarrels with everyone in my family , infact he fights with every apartment owner in building .

1. If it was a self acquired property of your vendor then she don't have any rights for a share in the property. 

However,  assuming that she had a right for a share in that property then she should have made a claim for a share within three years from the date of she becoming major by age,  now she is 25 years old hence her claim is barred by limitation. 

2. You don't have to answer to his oral demands or pressure. 

If he is sending a legal notice. you can issue a reply notice denying their claims through your lawyer. 

3. If he is posing threats or tortures continuously,  you can give a criminal complaint against him with the local police so that he can be brought to silence.
