Ancestral property
Question
My grandfather received a property from his father and my great grandfather executed the same through a partition deed and my grandfather acquired the said property.
My grandfather gave the same property to my father through a registered will and my father acquired the said property.
When my father was alive he sold the complete property.
My questions
1.Is this property considered as ancestral property?
2.Do i have any right on the sold property by my father and is there any option that i can claim the property sold by father
3.Does my father have rights to sell the said property.
Answer ( 1 )
No the property has lost the character of ancestral property once partitioned. any property which is running in the family without partition from three generations is considered as ancestral property. your father being the exclusive owner (being a self acquired property) is entitled to sell the same for his benefit and the children do not have a right in the self acquired property during his lifetime. since the property has been sold by him being a self acquired property, you cannot claim. Your claims lie only in ancestral properties.
