Property Given To Son, Money Is Not Given When Asked | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

Rajesh

Pattukkottai

This happens in our neighborhood, a mother, 88 years old has 7 children. 4 men and 3 women. All are married and settled. Her husband is no more. When both were alive father has given some land to one son, who promised money for that, whenever they need. Now, she needs money as she cannot do anything her own. When she asked about it he denied, he said he never have promised any money. Rest all of her sons/daughters know about it. There is no written agreement as he was in the gulf when it is said and registered the land on his name. Now she wants to know whether she can get money or land if she approaches the court or gives a complaint to the district collector. He supposed to look after her, but he does not. All other sons doing it, but they cannot do it alone. Please advice.

Dear Rajesh As per Senior citizen and welfare act, provisions, any parent, who are being ignored, ill treated and not properly maintained by their children, have legal remedy to file an application to the office of District Magistrate/Maintance tribunal of the concerned area seeking maintenance from their children. In addition to this they can evict, under the same act provisions, any of their children from their self acquired property/land. This application can be made by any person on behalf of parents/senior citizen. Fir getting further information about the matter kindly contact me.
