Hello, 

 

For any sort of legal advise on the same, I need to peruse the papers and documents first. 

 

Please connect through OLQ for better advise.

Dear Sir,

         A registered Gift Deed is a legally binding document, but it can be challenged in a Civil Court if you can prove it is invalid or voidable. Since you were not informed, your case likely rests on proving that the donor (the person who gifted the property) did not have the right to transfer your share, or that the deed was executed under fraudulent circumstances concerning you.

 

 

Common grounds to challenge a Gift Deed include:

Fraud or Misrepresentation: The deed was executed by misleading you, the true owner (if you are the owner), or the person who signed the deed, or by forging signatures.

 

 

Coercion or Undue Influence: The person who signed the deed (if it was an in-law who was the owner) was forced or unduly influenced to sign.

 

 

Lack of Title of the Donor: If the property belonged to you, or you had a share in it, then the person who acted as the donor (your in-laws) did not have a clear, absolute title to gift the entire property. They can only gift what they own.

Non-Acceptance by the Donee: A Gift Deed is valid only if the donee (the receiver) accepts the gift during the lifetime of the donor.

You cannot do anything as after gift of properties to in-laws, the in-laws became the absolute owner of property. It is only in-laws who can object such transfer but within three years from date of such transfer.
