Dear Sir, My mother made a will in July'2016 in which she has mentioned that here property, gold, FD's to be distributed equally among her 2 daughters ie Me & my sister. We are only 2 sisters & no brother.My mother passed away in Sept'2016 My sister also passed away in 2018. We didnt knew about the will earlier hence we made a notary in which we mentioned that me & sister's husband are the legal heir of the property. We submitted the notary to the society but they rejected,But now recently we found a will which mentions about distribution between me & my sister Now who will get the share of the property. Does her family ie her husband & their kids are eligible for share in the property? Please advice.

Dear Sir, Thanks for sharing the insights. 1.The Will says the property should be equally divided between 2 sisters. 2. The property is in name of my late mother. 3. The WILL was made by a lawyer and when we consulted him. He said after the death of your sister. You can claim for the complete rights for the property. Since the sister is deceased, her family holds no rights on property. Because the will had only my sister name and not her family's name. Please would like to have some clarification about the above mentioned views of the lawyer.

A.Assuming that you, your mother and sister are Hindu, I am advising you. Under Hindu Succession Act, the property of a Hindu Female dying intestate i.e. without a will goes to firstly to her son, daughter and husband and in the absence of these three to the legal heirs of her husband, if the property is inherited from the husband side and to the legal heirs of her father if the property is inherited from the father's side. Now in your case, all the property has been divided equally between you and your sister. As your sister is deceased so now the half share of your sister will devolve around her first class legal heirs i.e. the husband, son(s) and daughter(s), if any. The rest of the half share will be inherited by you.

The lawyer seems to be confusing you. As I said, after the death of your sister, the 50% share that has been given to her by your mother through the will will go to her husband, son(s) and daughter(s), if any, equally.
