Mothers jewel issue after her death Mothers jewel issue after her death

9 months ago

I ( Son) lost my mom a month back. I spent around 4 to 5 lacs for her medical expenses and final ritual. I was unaware that she has some jewels with her. But all these my younger sister and grand mother (mom's mom) know it, but they have not shared anything to when I was struggling to arrange money. Last week for a Pooja I went to my mom's house which is a rental and I was paying the rent since more than 7 years. During Pooja there was some words exchanged i slapped my sister so she give complained on me and police enquired and taken writen complaint. But that complaint is not only for i slapped her it is mainly for the jewellery ... Police had enquired and I explained everything. In the enquiry she said her chain, locket and one more jewel is hers and she needs that. I agreed to give it her back and she asked her share for other jewels i said I am ready to give but since you are asking for share on jewels take care of the share which I spent . Even police was agreed to that.. now my concern is I damn sure those jewels are not hers but still I am ready to give, secondly I was in the thought of giving all the jewels to her but due to her attitude and the police complaint I don't wanted to see her on a normal note.. they wer hiding the jewels and created a scene for this . Now what should I do ... Police said she will come for dividing the jewels .. should I give the jewels which she is saying her jewel and should I give her the share... Kindly advice

A.Don't give her any jewellery again she will come back fighting ..tell her to approach the civil court then only u can get justice ..The police officers may just help the sisiters side & again take money from her...we never know what are their intentions. So going to court is the best option as again they are hiding all the facts of how much jewels are there. R u having all the bills

A.Dear client,

Legal advice: It's advisable to consult with a lawyer who specializes in family law or inheritance matters. They will be able to provide you with guidance based on the specific laws and regulations of your jurisdiction. They can help you understand your rights, obligations, and options regarding the division of your mother's assets and the allegations made in the police complaint.

Mediation or family counseling: Considering the strained relationships within your family, you may want to explore the option of mediation or family counseling. A neutral third party, such as a mediator or counselor, can help facilitate a constructive conversation between you and your sister. This can provide an opportunity to address the underlying issues, express your concerns, and work towards a resolution that is fair and mutually agreeable.

Documentation: Keep thorough documentation of all the expenses you incurred for your mother's medical expenses and final rituals. This documentation can serve as evidence of the financial contributions you made, and it may be useful in discussions or legal proceedings regarding the division of assets.

Communication and compromise: If possible, try to have open and respectful communication with your sister. Express your willingness to resolve the matter and find a fair solution. Consider discussing the option of dividing the assets based on a mutually agreed upon method or seeking professional assistance to facilitate the division.

Follow legal procedures: If necessary, follow the legal procedures outlined by the police or any legal authority involved in the matter. Comply with their instructions and seek legal advice on how to proceed in a manner that protects your rights and interests.
