Applicability of Goa Civil Code to me
10 months ago
My father was born in Goa and left Goa as a young lad, in early 1900s. I was born near Mangalore and grew up there. I got a job in Goa and moved there in 1975. I have lived there since and bought a flat in Goa. My father left me a house in our village. I have a son and a daughter. Daughter is married and has a son. My question is: Does the Goa Civil Code apply to me since I have lived most of my life in Goa, and own some property in Goa? Am I free to dispose of my property as I wish or am I bound by the provisions of the Goa Civil Code?
As per the information you hav given yes your are under the obligation of goa civil code.
thank you

Perhaps, my facts were not quite clear. Lt me clarify:
The house that my father left me is near Mangalore (Karnataka). I went to Goa long after the liberation. I am a Christian. I was an Indian citizen in 1961 and still am.
Am I governed for my property by the Indian Succession Act 1925 or the Goa Civil Code?
