A. You have not specified whether your mother is alive or not. If she is not alive and if she did not make and publish any Will, then her property has been devolved upon her five children,each having undivided one-fifth share therein so after her death all of you have to obtain Legal Heir Certificate to substitute the name in the Record of Rights. If they are declined to give you any share in that property,then you have to claim the Partition of your share through Partition Suit.

A. Dear Client,
After the husband died without leaving a Will, his undivided half share in those properties passed to his wife and mother, who are both Class I heiresses under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, and thus the mother is legally entitled to claim either an undivided one-fourth share in those properties or the market value of such an undivided one-fourth share.
Thank you!

icon Succession-two witnesses when I write a will

Can I take my family members as two witnesses when I write a will


A. Dear Client,
You can take them as the witness but the person whom you are mentioning in the will will not be considered as witness. You need to take some other persons as witnesses to make will a valid one.
Thank You.

icon Land Acquisition

1. I have bought the land land in 2015 at a rate of 3812.5/- per square yard, the registered value of the land in the registered document is 600/- per square yard. 2. Present market value of my land


A. See whenever the land is acquired by government they fix up a rate for the land but the rate is almost equal to the market value (the government fixed rate, registration value) and not an arbitrary number. If they have fixed such a low value then do not accept their offer and they will be forced to increase it. If they do not do so then send a letter to the Land Acquisition Officer denying to agree the offer and sign the papers.
