Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
I live in India.My grandfather had three sons. During partition family, my father was given a house to live. The house was in the name of my grandfather and he told my father that he has named my father as on owner of this house in his will and showed him the will but didn't give him the copy of the will. My grandfather used to live with my uncle until last year when he died. After his death when we asked the copy of will from my uncle, he has been reluctant in giving the copy of the will.I doubt he could have done or made some modifications. I want to know that what are the legal chances to retain the house if he according to the will,my father is not the owner of the house?

In absence of the will you will have to partition the property it would be better if you entered into a settlement with your uncle amicably and retained the property with his consent.
