The property belonged to my grand mother in law, she has prepared a will stating the property belongs to my mother in law after her death. On her death the other sons have claimed ownership on the property. They have challenged the grandmother in laws Will. My mother in law was staying with the grand mother in law in the same property for more than 45 years and have been paying all maintenance of the same. Now we want to sublet a part of the property so it can help her in her maintenance. Can we do that?

A.Dear Client,

While the validity of a will made by your grandmother-in-law is being challenged by other claimants of the property, your mother-in-law cannot be considered the owner of the property until the civil suit is finally disposed of by the court, upholding the validity of the will that confers title or ownership to her. Consequently, without clear title or ownership of the property, your mother-in-law cannot create a tenancy on the property or sub-let a part of it to others.

A.Dear Client,
When the validity of a WILL made by your grandmother-in-law is being challenged by other claimants of the property, until and unless the said civil suit is finally disposed of by the Court upholding the validity of the will that confers the title or ownership of the property to your mother-in-law, she cannot be considered as the owner of the property. Accordingly, in the absence of title or ownership of the property, your mother-in-law cannot create a tenancy on the same property or sub-let a part of the property to others.
