Dear Madam,
Effect of the Oral Partition (1999)
Oral partitions are legally recognized if they are proved with credible evidence (e.g., possession, revenue entries, tax payment, witnesses).
But oral partition cannot extinguish another co-heir’s share if she did not consent or participate in it.
So, if the living sister was not part of or did not consent to that 1999 oral partition, she can still claim her 1/5 share.
