7 months ago

2 years ago in 2021. My father had died from COVID, after his death one of of relative might have felt bad and asked for my bank account, s/he then transferred 1 lakh to the said account. Now after 2 years, I forgot to wish him/her on his/her birthday, just for this small issue, s/he is asking me to pay the money back to him/her. Now, s/he is threatening me that s/he will send me legal notice. Am I really liable to pay him/her back.
I have never asked him/her to send any money to me. Nor did I made any commitment to return the money s/he had donated me. Please tell me if s/he really had legal options to sue me if yes, what options do I have.

A.Dear client,

If your relative had felt bad and given you the money, it could have been considered a gift.
Therefore, if there was no undue influence or fraud from your end, it can very well be contested that the gift need not be returned
