A. Dear Client,

Nomination in financial instruments, such as fixed deposits, primarily designates a person (nominee) to receive the proceeds or benefits of the asset upon the death of the account holder. However, the nominee does not become the owner of the asset; instead, they act as a custodian or trustee.

The legal ownership of the assets, including fixed deposits, is determined by succession laws in the absence of a will. In case of the depositor's death intestate (without a will), the legal ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

There is no law against extra-marital affairs in India. Adultery, which was previously a criminal offense, was decriminalized by the Supreme Court of India, declaring it unconstitutional. Despite the absence of criminal consequences, adultery can still be considered grounds for divorce, and it may have legal and social consequences, particularly for women.

In the given scenario, seeking guidance from a professional counselor with expertise in dealing with extramarital affairs can ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

In a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), the position of the Karta is crucial. While a HUF cannot have two Kartas simultaneously, the duty of management can be performed by another Coparcener in specific circumstances. A HUF can be formed with just two members, one of whom is a coparcener. However, for the entity to be taxed as an HUF, it should have at least two coparceners.

Despite being a separate legal entity, similar to a company or an individual, a HUF can open multiple bank acco ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Your online activities create a digital footprint, which is a record of your actions on the internet. Deleting data or even formatting a device may not completely erase this footprint, as cyber experts can potentially retrieve information, even from broken hard drives. WhatsApp messages, for instance, can be recovered by intelligence agencies or cybercrime units, as a copy is stored in WhatsApp's database. There are technologies available to access recently deleted WhatsApp chats ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

If your father, prior to his demise, invested money in favor of his sons as per his desire, such a fund transfer would not be subject to intestate succession. The property left by your late father, excluding the funds transferred during his lifetime, would be eligible for intestate succession. Intestate property is evenly distributed among the surviving legal heirs of the deceased.

A. Dear Client,

If your spouse has passed away, and you have not remarried, you are legally regarded as unmarried. Despite feeling emotionally connected, in the eyes of the law, your marriage concludes with the death of your spouse. There is no provision for canceling a marriage certificate; once the registration is finalized, the marriage is legally recognized. Therefore, the certificate cannot be canceled.
