Ancestral Property Inheritance - agricultural property
1 year ago
My great grandfather agriculutural property was divided among his sons after his death , of which one share came to my grandfather. My grandfather died in 2000 and now my dad his younger son wants his share of the ancestral property to transfer khata in his name for which his brother , the eldest son of my grandfather is objecting and says , the grandfather has executed a will of all the prooperties in his and his sons' name . Is such a will legitimate for an acquired property. Does my dad have a chance to fight this in the court
A.Your grandfather can only give the self-acquired property to anyone he wants in his will, not the ancestral property. Both your father and your uncle will have an equal right over the ancestral property by virtue of your birth, as per the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005.
