How can I legally sell property without my sister’s agreement?

I am a 63-year-old male, a retired Central Government employee living in Delhi-NCR. My father built a house in 1992 in West Midnapore. My parents passed away without settling the property between the siblings. I have one elder and one younger sister. I want to sell the property and divide the money equally between the siblings. However, after my mother passed away in 2024, my elder sister has stopped responding to my calls and messages. I have requested her several times to discuss the sale of the property since no one is residing there, but she has completely ignored me. I am in deep financial crisis right now, and the only option I see is to sell the property to clear my debts. What legal action do you suggest to make my sister engage in a discussion, as she has refused to listen to my polite and civil requests?

You can file a petition for partition of the property in court. This will legally compel your sister to respond and settle the matter. If she refuses, the court can divide the property and allow you to sell it to settle your debts. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
