Question
One of the heirs had built a house on the land inherited by several heirs. How is this problem to be resolved in terms of inheritance?
Answer
The ground is part of the estate. However, the house built by the heir belongs to him/her. The issue now is to decide the fate of the house. The heirs can offer to buy the house or they can compel the demolition of the house and the removal of the rubble. It is best that they buy the house and pay the price in instalments. A mutually agreed price could be fixed.
