Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
Can wife make further Will of husband's bequeathed property?
In India, in a hindu family, the husband made a Will in favour of his wife giving most of his property to her instead of his sons and daughters. Upon his death the Will became effective. The question is whether or not the wife can now write a Will in favour of her sons/daughters. I heard that the property should be self acquired by a person for him/her to make a Will. The question is, whether the wife can make a Will for husband's property that came to her by the husband's Will? Or the condition of self acquiring prevents her from doing so?

If husbands self acquired property is vested by husband by will to wife she becomes absolute owner and in turn she can make will and dsipose off such property as she desire
