UMy grandfather and father built the house i live in with my mother. During registry, grandfather registered it on my uncle’s name because he was a government servant and could get a loan easily which he did not. My father passed away in 2021 due to covid until then nobody said a word about selling this estate.
Whenever my uncle visits and talks about selling the house which he never invested in, it annoys both of us. Troubles us, sleepless nights, mental sadness and i fear if uncle would trouble my mother and cause harm in my absence.
My elder brother and mother would not risk buying this house ‘which is fair’ or take legal opinion and apply for the ownership because it’s been about 35 years mother has been residing and in possesion not just 12.Huge 60×40 sqft in a premium locality. Uncle visits and completely banishes the facts we produce just because. How cunning can a human be at the age of 74 is what i cannot imagine.
Im expressing but share your views please. -
AYou cannot do anything as the house is in his name, wait for him to pass BUT still in future his kids will fight for their share as the house is in their fathers name…Best to sell it and divide the proceeds 50-50 OR one of them has to buyout the other party. Your Grandfather should have at-least written a will on the property sharing post his death.
-
UI know you are right, attachment for 30+ years absolutely is a vain which cannot vanish easily.
Interestingly, my grandfather had made legal papers accordingly but uncle abstained. Further, on his deathbed grandpa begged uncle to transfer ground + 1 to my father in 2009 but cunningly uncle let grandpa die, never contributed in hospital’s bills or any care required by grandparents. But the court/society will not accept any of this, we go by rules and not character.
I wish grandpa had done equivalent sharing while registry, we could’ve worked something out. -
BYes, this is correct. It is your uncle’s house and his children will surely fight in the future. If uncle agrees to 50-50 division, this is a solution as the house is in his name.

UToday only he visited accompanied by an interested buyer, hence this post.
Ive had numerous chats with him in the span of 3 years since 2021 after my father passed away but he is orthodox, he finds me immature to take decision about a property since im like 40 years younger.
I can say this older generation in India has to learn from ‘now’ chill elders & boomers of rest of the world who pass on the accumulated wealth to the deserving.

LNothing just a plain stupid mistake on ur grandfather’s part. Legally the house is ur uncles, currently we aren’t a moral society. Even if he doesn’t want the house his kids are gonna come to lay claim.
-
UIt is a stupid mistake absolutely, in 1980s some families seemed to gel well amongst their kith-kin and relatives. Nobody cared whose house and whose name it bear on title. Disputes were there and im not denying, but such an event is unimaginable and unbearable.
Waiting for court’s decision for next 10 years will just destroy us financially, mother and uncle will expire by then, life.-
LOn a fair note, Your uncle has claim to half of the estate, irrespective of your Dad also being part of the building process. Unless it was clearly and specifically mentioned that the property solely belongs to your dad after grandad, which I think wasn’t done I suppose. Best way out is selling the property and taking half of urs and exit. Or buy them out and pay them half of it and keep the property

UUncle may sound like a culprit but father and grandfather had been the morons.. my father from very early childhood taught us not to trust anyone with your own money. Sorry but it does not seem you guys can do a lot except for some rule there which kind of proves ownership when one is residing in a property and paying govt bills for very long duration of time. See a lawyer

Mconsult a lawyer. Have him file an injunction against any sale. Believe you have adverse possession on your side. Your objective will be to frustrate him so much that he comes to negotiating table. And you get part of the house and proceeds.
Don’t be intimidated. Think that every year you stay in the house is victory for your family. Best of luck!!
