Gtransfer ancestral property in my name and adopted son

Hi Ashley,

Legally, after the death of grandparents the property automatically came to be vested in your father and his siblings equally, and in case of they having expired before then in their progeny/children. The fact that they are not interested in property won't make you the owner directly. You have to have a registered relinquishment deed from them in order to transfer the property in your exclusive name.

And as regards the second part of your query - you can adopt your brother in law if there is 21 years age difference both as regards you and your spouse.

Thanks for the reply Mr.Chugh. I really appreciate it.

Would you be kind enough to tell me What is Partition Deed and how does it work? Does it take a long time to work out? Can I sell a plot to an outsider? Another thing is I can't trace all my cousins for them to sign the Relinquishment deed.What's the best that I can do in such a scenario? Please reply.

A Partition Deed  is a deed by which lands held in common, co-parcenary, or joint tenancy are separated into different portions and distributed among several persons who takes them in severalty. In case where a deed of partition is executed there can be no difficulty with respect to the rights of the respective parties under the deed
