Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

will

My mother expired on 11-09-2006 in Bombay. She was about 82 years of age at the time of her death. She has left behind two children; a son aged 51 years (married)and a daughter about 39 years (married). She has also left behind a will giving the entire property to my sister. I am attaching herewith copy of the said will for your perusal.

The property was acquired by my parents with their hard earned savings.

There are certain points written in the will which are against the ethics and priciples of Human Rights. I have highlighted these points of the said will. My questions pertaining to the said will are as follows:

1. Can the son also claim for the right to property despite the maker of the will has given 100% of the property to the sister?

2. As a part of the family am I not entitled to my stake in the property?

Re: will

If your mother was the absolute owner of the property in question, you dont get anything. However, the will can be challanged on various other grounds. The advise given here is different than what happens in courts. Here the stress is on the theory, while in courts it is the practical.You need not lose heart, what you need is not the advise but services of a good lawyer.

Re: will

we don't see any attachment here!

if the property was in your mother's name - it is her absolute property - you cannot do any thing!

you will be entitled to the share only if it was a heriditary property - particularly your father's!

Re: will

There is no will attached to this question, so please send the copy of the will, giving the family tree and as to how the property was acquired.

Re: will

If properties were self acquired and were disposed of by a valid Will, then it will devolve as per Will. If there are certain points making Will invalid or illegal, then properties would devolve as per intestate succession law.
