Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
Hi ,
I am a Nikhil.We have a property in hyderabad.The house is registered in my dads name.He got it from his moms will(
It was in his moms name before) which mentioned provided he gives 60,000 Rs in cash to his sister he has to share the house with her.Hence he paid the money and got the property mutated in his name 27 years back.Now the property is registered in his name.I have a sister and shes married and settled in US.Now my question is , he has written a will and mentioned me and my mom as the sole heirs of the property after his death.Can my sister claim a right in the property ?

Dear Nikhil,
You will need to subsequently obtain a Probate from the Court on your father's Will thereafter, to get the title of the property transferred in your mother's name and your name as the beneficiaries of your father's Will. Prior to issuing the Probate, the Court issues a notice to all the legal heirs to remain present in the Court to record their statement. Your sister being the legal heir, she will receive the notice prior to the Probate.
Regards,
