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, This does not qualify as an ancestral property since your grandfather received the same on partition which would mean that it was self acquired. thereafter excluding other legal heirs, your grandfather made a WILL in favour of your father which is permissible only for self acquired properties. Once received by youer father under the testament, it is still a self acquired property and therefore as a legal heir, you have no entitlement over the said property.
Since the property received by your father is a self acquired property, he is exclusive owner and can do as per his wish qua the said property.
