A.Dear Client,

I appreciate your gratitude and trust in seeking legal advice. Based on the information you have provided, I understand that you are facing a complex situation regarding a will deed executed by your late brother, which was allegedly changed by his family in 2002. This has led to disputes among the beneficiaries, including yourself. I will provide some general guidance:

Challenge to the Will Deed:
It appears that you are challenging the validity of the will deed executed by your late brother in 2002. To do so, you will need to follow the legal process prescribed in your jurisdiction. Generally, this involves filing a legal suit or petition to contest the will. You mentioned that a civil suit was filed in 2002, and it's important to ensure that this matter is actively pursued in court to protect your interests.

Beneficiary Payments and Lok Adalat Settlement:
If the beneficiaries have already received payments and there was a settlement in a Lok Adalat in 2006, it is essential to determine the terms of that settlement and whether it was legally binding. If you believe that the settlement was not conducted properly or was obtained under duress, you may need to challenge its validity.

Notices to Legal Heirs:
It is crucial to ascertain whether proper notices were served to all legal heirs when the will was executed, and during any legal proceedings or settlements related to the will. Failure to provide proper notice to legal heirs can have legal implications.

Forgery Allegations:
You mentioned concerns about forged witness signatures. If you suspect forgery, you should gather evidence to support your claim. You mentioned applying for documents under Section 76 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. This can be a useful step in obtaining relevant evidence for your case.

Legal Representation:
Given the complexity of your case and the potential legal issues involved, it is strongly recommended that you engage the services of a qualified attorney who specializes in estate and property law. They can review the specifics of your case, advise you on the best course of action, and represent your interests in court.

Stay Informed:
Stay actively involved in your case by regularly communicating with your attorney, attending court hearings, and providing any additional evidence or information that may be relevant to your case.

Please remember that the legal process can be lengthy and complex, and outcomes can vary depending on the specific facts and circumstances of your case.
Thank you.
