Prior to transferring the property, your father was required to acquire a written consent out of your aunt. In case your aunt has filed a swimsuit, it will be higher to file consent phrases. Depending on the settlement phrases, bills incurred in the direction of enhancements, taxes, and so forth., in relation to the property could also be adjusted to type out the matter.
