Sir, i am jegadeesh kumar, age 46. I have one younger sister. My father has a self earned property in Trichy (my native town). In 2000 i got job in coimbatore and settled here. After few years my mom & my father also settled with me in coimbatore. In 2004 my sister got married & settled in trichy. My father permitted my sister to reside in his self earned house since 2004. In 2010 my father wrote a will that his self earned house in trichy belongs to me and i can sell it or lease it.. The house is 2 floor building. My sister residing in ground floor, & first floor is rented, the rent also collected by my sister.
My father died in 2014, the original will, original property document are with me. As she is my sister, i too allowed to stay in the same house after my fathers demise, without paying any rent to me, and allowed her to collect and keep the first floor rent for her packet expenses. But have not signed in any rental aggreements sir. In 2018 my mom gave her 200gms of gold jewels to my sister. My mom died in 2022 june. Now my sister & her hubby are asking a share in that property, stating that they are living in that home for more than 19 years.
Q 1) Does my sister has a legal share in that house sir.
Q 2) Does my sister has legal right to collect rent from that house sir?
Q 3) How can i get that first floor tenant rent sir.
Q 4) As i have original will & original property document, can i sell the house by making a direct sales deed.?
Q 5) Do i have right to claim rent from my sister sir?
Still the house, property tax, eb bill are in my fathers name sir!
