Property laws in UP are a nightmare. There are all sorts of laws that allow land mafias to seize property at will. I recently had a family member who passed away (for real) but while going through the paperwork I reallized there are so many loopholes and opportunities for land mafia to essentially claim the land as their own that I cant imagine what itd be like of one of your family members claimed you're dead. Quite frankly I feel like there is no concept of land ownership there unless you are physically present to enforce it yourself.
