Legal Question in Family Law in India

We are 4 sisters. Our father passed away 15 years back. My mother is not very educated and was unable to handle the affairs so we decided to transfer the property on our youngest sister's name who was staying with our mother and we promised each other to split the property later in life when our mother would be no more. Rest of us were married in different cities that's why we thought it will be better if one person can overlook everything. 3 of us, agreed to this whereas my eldest sister was against this. The transfer was done without a signature or acceptance of my eldest sister. A couple of weeks back, my mother passed away and now there is a dispute. My younger sister has denied giving us our share. Moreover, my eldest sister is filing a case, as she had not accepted the deed signed and she had her objections with it. She is accusing us of unlawfully stealing her share in our parent's property. What are our options in such a case?

Can we retract our deed as our eldest sister was not a part of it and our verbal promise and trust have been breached by our youngest sister? We are Marwadi Hindus and all of us are married now and have a stable married life.

in the present situation, you may support the eldest sister and conjointly file the case for cancellation of transfer deeds in favour of younger sister. but a lawyer has to go through the transfer deed and other relevant documents to help you out.
