Validity of Will deed
4 months ago
My father-in-law has got his will deed registered. In the will he has excluded his other son from the inheritance and bequeathed the house in the name of my husband. The witness in the will is a friend of my husband and my nephew and will deed has been registered. Will this be sufficient for us to claim the house after my father in laws's demise?
A.Dear client,
There are two types of properties of a person, one is the self-acquired one and the other is the ancestral property. If it is your father's self-acquired property which is being given under the said will then that is enough for you to claim the house unless he makes a new will before his death.
But if the property in question is ancestral property, then it has to be disposed of in accordance with the Hindu Succession Act of 2005. According to the act, all the legal heirs will have a part over the ancestral property. Due to this reason, ancestral property can't be disposed of as per the will.
Thank You
