My grandfather died and left a will which is probated by court and has 4 benificaries .

At the same time my grandfather in the will gave life interest to her wife who is alive however she is not a benificiary .

can the property be substituted in land records in the favour of 4 benificairy alongwith his wife ie 5 people or can it be subsituted only in the name of the 4 benificairy who are given equal share...

Kindly give a detailed answer on the same to get a better understanding

The wife is having life interest in the property and the 4 beneficiaries cannot claim anything till she is alive. After her demise, the land records can be changed. The will is probated in her favor and after her death, in favor of beneficiaries.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Sir / Madam,

The property vests in the wife as specified in the Will. The beneficiaries legal right on the property can only be exercised thereafter.
