My father expired 10 years back without leaving any will behind. We had our ancestor’s house in Nagoa. We are 2 brothers. My elder brother wants to take control of house and is not intrested in dividing it in absence of will. What steps I should take?
Answer: As your father expired intestate, either get a succession deed recorded in Court or Office of Special Notary cum Civil Registrar or file an Inventory proceeding in the Court having territorial jurisdiction. Once your share is determined, file a Suit for partition of your share from the property. Your right to inheritance to fathers property cannot be denied by your brother as you have equal right as that of your brother.
