We are a Hindu family, my late grandpa exp. in 1976 leaving self acquired property, two sons, one died unmarried in 1995, and my father and three married well settled daughters. My grandma is 93 and going strong.
I have a married well-settled sis who got married in 1988.
I am the lone successor to my grandpa’s estate, since my uncle died unmarried; my brother in law has started feeling jealous. Has enough money and is powerful enough to influence my parents. My sis on his insistence keeps poisoning my parents against my wife and me. Due to this, I had also been misguided about my first wife with whom I started having differences and ill will and finally I divorced her due to irreconcilable differences and on their insistence and support. Once successful, they are trying stunts again. But this time, I have realised the real culprits are my sis and B-I-L. My father, aged 73, on my sis’s guidance is threatening me that he will lodge a police complaint that I am not looking after him in his old age and I am all alone and quite upset. He has also told me to get out of the house on four occasions. We don’t have alternate shelter and my wife is under constant stress, is heading for depression, as I can see symptoms of weight gain, palpitation, forgetfulness etc. I have tried talking to my parents, grandma, and they seem to understand things, only till they again speak to my sis. My mother is diabetic and needs attention and support, but is losing all this due to materialistic intentions of my sis. We have settled the family with lots of difficulty and now everything is out for destruction. Kindly guide me on Hindu succession act amendment 2004, and my stand on ancestral property. What are the precautions and legal groundwork I need to do to safeguard my interest? Since my sister is married before 2004, is she eligible for 50 % share in my fathers share? I also fear my life, what precautions should I take to safeguard my wife and daughter ? In case, something happens to me, what safety do I enact for my wife and child ? In case, my father files a police complaint, as mentioned above and looking at circumstances, when daughter is pleading share in property, is she also responsible and liable for parents upkeep.? Can I issue my sister a legal warning that whatever she is doing, anything happens to me, my family, my parents, she shall be responsible, liable for an answer. What can be her worst action looking at the whole case ?
