Dear Sir,

My father died on 2nd June 2010.only after 2years (in 2012) we come to know that he had made registered will in the name of second wife which is not legally wedded .my mother is legal wedded having four child including me she is getting pension benefit. We have notice that the will is made 2 months before my fathers death, and 1 month after father get admitted to the hospital due to paralysis attack. By proving my mother as legal wife can the will get cancelled or please advice other ways so that we can stand stronger

in case the property was self acquired by your father and the will is genuine, there is nothing much that can be done as your father had a right to bequeath his property to any one including the second wife. the property has devolved through will and not because of relationship. however, if the will is forged or the father was holding a share in joint property, then the first wife and her children may challenge the will.
