Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
My grandfather had 3 sons and 1 daughter, all married. He lost his 2 sons a few years back to illness and they are survived by there wives and children. My grandfather before he died, made a registered will ( self acquired and earned property) in which he decided not to give anything to my aunt and distributed the property in 3 equal shares ( 3 sons). One share of the property went to one of my uncle, second share to the two sons of my deceased uncle and nothing to his one daughter or his wife, third share of our deceased father to we two brothers and nothing to our two sisters or mother. I would like to know that can my sisters put any claim for the share in the property even if there is a clear distribution of assets by my grandfather by way of this will ?? Will we need to take any noc from sisters when we create any third party interest ( like selling, mortgaging etc ) ?? Please reply ASAP. Thanks.

Self acquired property can be bequeathed to any one. Property has been acquired by your grandfather by his own funds so has got all the rights under the law to dispose of the said property according to his wish.
