Deprivation from ancestral/inherited property.
5 years ago
My grandfather has three son & no daughter. He made a "gift deed" of his entire property in the name of his two daughter-in-law (my uncle's wife's) depriving his elder son (my father). This gift deed was done few years back (probably in 2007 or 2008). The property was a ancestral/inherited property which was automatically transferred to my grandfather after the death of his father (my great grand father). One or two years later (in around 2010) after the "gift deed" my both aunt's (uncle's wife) sold the property to some person at a very cheap price. Since my father lives in a separate home, he was unaware of all this incident. Only, recently we came to knew all about this after our grandfathers demise in 2018. I would like to know whether my father can do anything legally regarding this deprivation of the ancestral/inherited property? Thanks & Regards.

Your father has birth right in the property which cannot be disposed off by your grand father, even if he disposes off by way gift or by any other mode which cannot give a valid right to the donee or purchaser. Hence, even a lapse of eight or any number of years your father can challenge the gift deed and other alienation like sale etc. So your father can issue legal notice to the vendor from alienating by donee of your grand father and assert right in a valid court of law. Take expert legal advice and proceed in a cautious manner.
