Ideally your brother is working as per an employee for which he is getting paid, so he has no stake on your Uncle's property until he himself agrees to it or your brother has anyway done any monetary investment in the property... Hope this helps.. Take care
It is deeply touching to see your brother's dedication to the family, but legally speaking, a nephew has no automatic legal right to claim a share in his uncle’s (Chachaji's) self-acquired property or business. Since your brother receives a salary, the legal system views him as an employee rather than a co-owner. In joint families, hard work and verbal promises cannot stand in court unless the property is strictly ancestral or his name is legally added to the assets.
To protect your brother's future without harming family bonds, consider these practical steps:
- Formal Partnership: Have a respectful family discussion to make him a registered partner or shareholder in the business through a legal deed.
- Asset Building: Ensure his current remuneration is fair so he can purchase independent properties in his own name.
