Legal Question in Family Law in India

In India, is it possible to legally disown a daughter,who is creating untold pain and anguish to an aged father. He wants to disown this daughter ( out of the totally three daughters ) and bequeath all his self acquired immovable and movable properties to the other through a testamentary will. He wishes to avoid litigation after his demise and believes that, if the daughter is legally disowned, she cannot even start the process.

My question is it really possible to do that and if so, what is the procedure ?. Your response is highly appreciated.

yes, but, you may have to give a public notice of that in local newspaper. and send a copy of that notice to her, too.

There is no way in which you can stop your disowned daughter to claim her share from other legal heirs after your demise.The best possible way is to Gift your self acquired property(ies) in your life time. Your disowned daughter can challenge the so called Will after your Demise by taking various reasons against your other legal heirs before the Court.....
