May 8, 2025 at 4:50 pmUnless great grandfather made you the property owner, tough luck. If your grandfather and father are alive they can sell the property as they like. If they die, they can’t deny you the property as it is your ancestral property.-

May 8, 2025 at 5:02 pmWrong. Ancestral property rights extend upto 4 generations. He was right on the property by birth. Don’t comment when you’re not a lawyer/have no idea what you’re talking about -

May 8, 2025 at 4:48 pmA lawyer this side. Of course you can stop it. Unless the land was self acquired by father or grandfather, you have a right on it. If you file an injunctive suit at your local court, you can stop the sale from happening. Even if the sale goes through, you can contest it. Even if land goes to third party after sale, you will have a right of election to choose between taking your appropriate portion of land, or its value. You can even go a step further and ask for partition pursuant to which, your portion canβt be sold without your consent.-

May 8, 2025 at 4:52 pmSelf acquired property is something which your parents acquire out of their own earnings, whereas the situation you are sharing involves property which is ancestral property as it is being passed on from forefathers to the next generation.-

May 8, 2025 at 5:04 pmBeing a legal heir makes it essential for your signature in order for a sale to be performed.
But firstly there is a need to be confirmed whether the property was self acquired by your grandparent or he inherited it.-

OP
May 8, 2025 at 5:06 pmIt belonged to my great grandfather and he did not make any kind of will or settlement to any of his children, this property then passed on to their children after death-

May 8, 2025 at 5:09 pmGiven the situation mentioned the property falls under ancestral property as per my understanding.
You can file a suit for partition and object to the sale in civil court where the property is situated.

May 8, 2025 at 5:59 pmI have a similar issue where my bloody father acquired laand from his sisters when my grandfather died, there was no will written by my grandfather. Now my father kicked me out of the house and i have a gut feeling that my mother is persuading my dad to sell the flat to my mama. I want to stop since it’s the place built by my grandfather and my dad has no right whatsoever giving the place to anyone or kicking me out for that matter.
Need legal help I want to keep the place safe for the family’,s future generation.My father did not even put enough efforts in his life to build his own fucking house and still he was ungrateful towards my grandparents.

May 9, 2025 at 3:22 amFirst find out in whose name is the property registered/mutation. That will help you a lot.Second, All the lawyers advising here, also tell him how many years of fight and legal fees he is expecting to spend on it. My conservative estimate – one decade at least and fees depends on the value of property share.
So best of luck
