Legal Question in Family Law in India
I filed a dowry case on my in-laws and husband due to excessive haassement and am living with my parents. My Father-In-Law died and had a property in his name without any will. Do I have any right in the property and in what proportion. I have a son also. Does he have any right in the property.
I fear that my in-laws and husband may sell that property. If I have any right in the property, can I take a Stay on the property.

Please inform whether the property is ancestral or self- acquired.
As your father-in-law has died without executing any will, the property will be ancestral for your son. your son will have right on the same. if you feel that they are alienating it, file a suit for injunction. Email;[email protected]
your husband has a right in the property and after him it may go to you and /or your son.
You may file a civil suit as next friend and guardian of your son claiming his share in the ancestral property. Besides, you are also entitled to claim "charge" against your husband's share for your maintenance.
