Property Sale Dispute Resolution

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To better understand and provide guidance, could you clarify if your uncle left a will and if there are any living heirs aside from you and your father?

It seems like your father may not have had the legal right to sell the property if the title was in your uncle's name. Here are some key points:
- Only the legal owner (or someone with legal authority) can sell a property.
- Since your uncle owned the property and is now deceased, the property would typically go through probate.
- The property should be distributed according to your uncle's will, or if there is no will, according to intestate succession laws.
You may want to consult a lawyer to explore your options for disputing the sale and protecting your inheritance rights.
