my father has 5 siblings, 2 brother and 3 sisters. all the properties of the family are self acquired in nature by my late grandfather, father and uncles. in 1995 a family settlement according to the wishes of the brothers and my grandfather was made and signed by them. my aunts were not a part of this family settlements as they are all married and not part of the companies under which the money to acquire the properties was made.
now after 15 years of living to according the family settlement after my grandfathers death, one of my uncles is trying to go back on the family settlement. my grandfather also left a will for his property, this too is being challenged on false grounds by my aunts. what course of action can i take to mutate the properties that came into my fathers share by family settlement in to his name? can i claim for damages from my aunts who are openly lying in court about facts and causing me financial difficulties?
the family settlement was deduced after much deliberation of more than 2 years creating 4 equal parts between my father, grandfather and 2 uncles. it has not been registered, but has been signed my my father, uncles, their wives and my grandfather and all the parties have been living and enjoying properties in accordance with it. do my aunts have any right in my grandfathers and fathers self acquired property in spite of a will being present?
