Rights to second wife and her children after first wife's death
5 years ago
My father married my mom legally after his first wife's death. The first wife had two sons and a daughter. Younger son died recently and my father is in favor of the elder son. I donno if he wrote a will for him. I'm the only daughter to my mom who is the second wife. I and my mom are feeling insecure about future. Can we demand for equal partition of property.? What are the rights for second wife and her children? Please give possible solution for this?
A.Dear Madam,
If it is his self acquired property no body question him. However you can put a case for maintenance and seek attachment of property and a rider of not to transfer the property. After his death children of both wives get half share each.

A.1st you need to check whether the properties are self acquired by your father or not. If it is self acquired in that case, your father has every right to dispose off such property as per his wish. In case of ancestral property, you have right to claim.
