icon PPF Nominee vs Legal heir

My father opened PPF account in post office and made my sister nominee in that account. Now after my father death cam me(son) and my mother have claim in ppf account besides my sister who is nominee.


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

icon HUF creation including NRI persons

I want to create HUF, I am having NRI SON, two Gandsons( all US citizen) and a Daugher (Canadian PR). How to create HUF?. Is it possible to cerate one HUF me as Karta and another by my son as Karta


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,

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.

icon can I hide my pervious marriage after the death of first husband

I want to cancel and hide my marriage registration because my first husband died 3years back


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.
