My father passed away recently. My stepmother gifted 8 acres of agriculture land to my stepbrother. Instead of getting a stay on this gift deed or cancelling the gift deed or going for a partition claim, I want to claim a similar gift deed from my father's property. Is this possible

A.Hello,
Intestate Succession in the Event of a Male Death. If a man dies intestate, that is, without a will, his assets are dispersed according to the Hindu Succession Act, and the property is passed to the deceased's lawful heirs. In this situation, the length of time is determined by the value of the property and the number of legal encumbrances owed to the deceased person's legal heirs.You can get a gift if your stepmother transfers it in your name.
Thank you.

A.Hi,
Intestate Succession in case of Death of a Male. In case a male dies intestate, i.e. without making a will, his assets shall be distributed according to the Hindu Succession Act and the property is transferred to the legal heirs of the deceased. In the present case, the time depends on the property and the number of legal encumbrances depending on the legal heirs of the individual who died. You can get a gift if your stepmother transfers it in your name.
Thank you.

A.Dear client,

If your father has died intestate then you will automatically get the part of the property.
If he has left a will completely on your step mother's name you cannot help it.

First, try to get the information that how your step mother has got the property in her name . Is there any kind of illegal or unauthorized means adopted or not
Thank you

A.Hello Client,

Gift deed can only be made by the owner of the property.
If it's an ancestral property then even your father can not transfer the property only in your stepmother's name you have full right.
If the property was brought by your father then he could have made a will that states that after his demise your stepmother will be the successor only then your mother can make a gift deed to her son, otherwise if there is no such will in present then you have equal right over your father's property and Your stepmother can not gift any of such property because she is not the sole successor or heir.

Thank You.

A.Dear Sir/Mam,

Kindly share full details. Was your father died intestate or made a will before the death as it depends on that if your step mother got the ownership on the basis of will only then she can gift the land through the gift deed otherwise she is not competent to do so. Kindly check the above mentioned thing first. You can only claim if it found that she did it unauthorizedly.

A.Your claim seeking for gift of your father's property is not permitted or tenable in law. Gift can only be made by the owner of property and no third person can make gift of property of another person. What right of ownership your stepmother have ove the property? under which capacity she made gift? Details required to be examined.
