If one manages to obtain land khatha's of ancestors based on forged will in which he declared himself as foster son and then claims that he got it as a legal heir, is it acceptable legally?

A.If the forging of will can be proved, legal recourse lies for the same. However, as a general rule, an adopted son can claim property of the adoptive father under Hindu law, just as a biological son can. If you find the answer helpful, please rate me.

A.It is necessary to scrutinize that Will as well as such declaration to give opinion in this regard considering the legal perspective. It is also necessary to know if it is assumed that the Will is forged then whether any legal step has been taken or not.
