UThrowaway account for privacy reasons.
My mother bought a piece of land many years ago (She’s almost 70 now). The purchase was mediated by my late uncle. There were some disputes at the time and my mother did not get the sale related original documents from my uncle. But the land was transferred (in the land records, we can see that it belongs to my mother). My uncle was a drunkard and dishonest person and he died an year ago.
Now, some people (not the ones whom she got land from) came recently and claim that my uncle told them that my mother is selling the plot of land and he got money from them (~25lakhs total from couple of cash payments over a period of 5 years). The thing is, my mother knows nothing about this. It seems that they have a document with her signature on it (I guess this was forged somehow, possibly by my uncle). Note that, as mentioned earlier, according to land records, the plot is still is in my mother’s name.
Now, these people came to my mother’s a few days back and now have sent a lawyer notice to her. She has 15 days to respond. How can we solve this issue? -

HYou will need to hire an advocate and reply to the notice. If they file a case, you will have to defend it. But other side won’t have any case. If they made cash payments, they will not be able to prove it in court. And who even makes payments over 5 years? And if they were buying property from your mother why did they never meet her before? Why are they only coming forward to meet your mother now after your uncle died? It is most likely a scam. People try their luck by filing false cases and dragging it out. What they hope to do is maybe secure some interim order to pressurize you or drag the matter on to make you fed up and want to settle by paying some amount to them.
