However, it's crucial to distinguish between self-acquired and ancestral properties, as ...ReadMore

The effectiveness and skills of the counsel presenting the case also play a significant role in shaping the outcome. Following a decision by the trial court, the losing party has the right to appeal the judgment to the next higher level of the court.

A. Dear Client,

In the event of both parents passing away without leaving a will for their self-acquired property, the Hindu Law of inheritance dictates that all surviving legal heirs are entitled to an equal share in the property. If you are the sole legal heir of your deceased parents, you inherit the entire self-acquired property left by your mother.

A. Dear Client,

If the court passes an order disposing of the case and awards no relief, your will bequeathing your share in the ancestral property becomes ineffective and unenforceable under the law. In such a situation, it is advisable to wait for the court decree before taking any further action or making decisions regarding the distribution of ancestral property. The court's decree will determine the legal status and rights of the parties involved, and it is important to follow the legal proc ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Until a court order is issued in a succession case, officially declaring the names of successors and specifying their respective shares in the intestate property of the deceased owner, a successor or legal heir does not have the entitlement to relinquish their right to the said property in favor of other successors or co-owners. Consequently, if your sister receives a summons from the court, she should personally appear on the specified date for the hearing.
