A. Dear Client,

Based on the current information, it seems there may not be a straightforward legal remedy or relief to recover the money lent to your friend, especially if there is no documentation or agreement in place. However, one potential step is to serve a legal notice to your friend, formally demanding the repayment of the remaining loan amount. It's important to note that the success of such a notice can vary, and it may or may not prompt the desired response from your friend. Consulting ...ReadMore

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.

However, in the 2011 case of Revansiddappa & Other ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
If your grandfather or grandmother passed away leaving the property intestate, i.e, without a Will, then on their demise, all the surviving legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the said property following the law of intestate succession. Unless your father's brother and sister relinquished their right of share in the property by executing a registered deed of relinquishment in favour of your father, your father cannot enjoy that property alone. A relinquishment deed may be ...ReadMore

My father buy two big homes on my elder brothers name home which are divided in 4 equal parts in which one is on the name of my 1st elder brother and other is on second elder brother in which I live


A. Dear Client,

When a person passes away without leaving a will (intestate), the surviving family members are entitled to an equal share of the property according to Hindu succession laws. 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

A. Dear Client,

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

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
