Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
Claim on Property
Me and my brother have booked an apartment year back from a reputed builder. The booking is in his name. That time he was single. I am also single. But during course of one year he got married. We have taken loan and my brother is primary applicant, whereas I am co-applicant. I have also made initial investments and some investment from common account has been made for purchase of this house. I wish to know the following:
1.Can the house be registered in both my brother�s and my name jointly? Since the booking of house is in his name only.
2.If not, can he nominate/ make a will in my name?
3.In that case will his wife have any claim on this house?
To avoid a situation where his wife anytime in future may not put up any kind of claim on this property what actions should be taken now.
