Legal Question in Family Law in India

Daughter rights on parents wealth
I have self acquired wealth like
house, cash and commercial
building. My wife has cash which
she has received from her parents.
We have only one daughter and no
other children.

What is the rights of my only
daughter on the wealth of my self
and my wife during our lifetime and
after our lifetime.

We want to use part of our wealth
for any other social purpose or gift
to any other person. Can my
daughter or son in law object for
this or claim rights on our entire
wealth.

Re: Daughter rights on parents wealth

if it is your self acquired property then during your life time your daughter does not get any right. You can deal with it as you like. further you are free to will your property to any body which cannot be objected by your daughter

Re: Daughter rights on parents wealth

during your lifetime no right. After your lifetime she can claim as a legal heir. As the wealth is your self acquired no one can object to the disposing of wealth as you like. you can also make a Will if you wish.
