Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
My grandfather has willed his self earned property to my father, mentioning "absolute rights" in his will. Can I claim inheritance rights on that property after my father's death?

No once the property has been willed means your Grandfather has transfered all the rights to ur father... so the property belongs to him... and he can dispose off as per his choice and his will...

Dear Sir / Madam,
By virtue of a Probate, your father becomes the absolute owner of the property willed by your grandfather in his name. But that in no way implies that you automatically singly become entitled to the inheritance rights by your father, especially if there are other legal heirs in your family like your mother, brother(s) and sister(s).
As already pointed out by my fellow learned counsel Uttam Tibrewal, the decision to transfer the inherited property vests with your father alone.

This property has become self acquired for your father. So therefore he can dispose of the same he wishes to do so. If your father dies intestate , then you being a legal heir can claim your share in the the property with other legal heirs.............Please check Sanjay Kalra and Associates on the internet to know more about our law firm and the legal services we are rendering for our clients from all over the World
