Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
My husband who expired in 2008 are three brothers in all. My father-in-law gave his agricultural property equal share to his three sons, out of which my husband's share has been transfered in my name after his death. I have no children and now have a "registered WILL'and want to give my share of property after my death to my younger real sister who is also my younger brother-in-law's wife. Can anyone claim on this property after my death.

under sec 14 of women right to property act, any women gets property absolutely. so you may bequeath your property by Will to your sister
under the amendments of Hindu Marriage Act, agricultural house may not be devolved upon the daughters through survivorship. is it an agricultural land or a house. which side of delhi is it situate. there are a number of clarifications required before commenting any further.
If land came to your husband under a partition, then it may be regarded as his own property which has been succeeded by you as sole heir.
If this is the case, then you may dispose of the same in any manner liked by you.
