Hi,.....My father passed away a few months ago. He owned some agricultural land in his name inherited from my grandfather.
If ur father inherited the same from his father means, the title deeds might not be in your father's name. Might be in his father's name.
The property was being cultivated by my uncle(father's brother) for all these years. However, all the property papers are also with my uncle and now he refuses to hand over. I have no clear idea about the exact area of the land and exact location.
No problem, if ur dad and the said uncle are the only heirs of ur grand pa, both of them shall be entitled to 1/2 share of the land. you have inherited ur dad's share.
Regarding the descripttion of property, being the agricultural, you can get the details from Taluk office concerned or from village munsiff as the case may be.
How can I obtain a copy of the papers? Also, will it be important to point out where the land is. located and how much is ours?
If you know the details about property viz., survey no., extent, etc you can apply for certified copy for the registrar office concerned. you may have intimate ur grandpa's name as the previous owner.
Is it possible for my uncle to get the land transferred in his name without our knowledge? Can he claim ownership of the property as an ancestral property even if it was registered in my father's name?
Ur uncle can not sell on his own. he has to prove to the buyer, in the recital of the sale deed, how he acquired the property. He has to about ur grand pa, his death and about ur father. So it is not so easy OR in fact it is not possible for him to sell
How do I get the land registered in the name of my mother? Not Necessary
