A. Dear Client,

Your question lacks specific details, but it's important to highlight that Section 16(3) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, addresses the inheritance rights of illegitimate children. According to this section, illegitimate children are entitled only to their parents' property and not that of any other relatives. Initially, this was understood as a right limited to their parents' self-acquired property, excluding ancestral property.

A family settlement that lacks the signatures of all surviving legal heirs does not apply to those heirs and cannot override the provisions of succession laws. Additionally, the enforceability of a Power of Attorney ends with the death of its executor. In the given situation, it appears that no legal remedy or ...ReadMore

Nomination serves as a provision allowing the nominee to claim assets as a 'custodian' upon the depositor's demise. The Insurance Laws (Amendment) Act of 2015 designates immediate family members (spouse, children, or parents) as beneficial nominees, granting them the right to receive the claim amount, prioritizing them over other legal heirs. According to the Hindu Succession Act of 1956, legal heirs of a deceased Hindu male, such as a wife and other successors categorized as Clas ...ReadMore
