icon Forging will and then claim ancestor property as legal heir

If one manages to obtain land khatha's of ancestors based onforged will and then claim that he got it as a legal heir, is it acceptable legally?


A. No it is not acceptable and if proved in the court of law that he had done this by forging a legal document then we will be held criminally liable for fraud and forgery. He shall be penalized and punished under Sections 463, 464 and 465 of IPC. Also suppose that he submits the same forged document in court as genuine then he shall also be punished under Sections 191, 192 and 193 of IPC.

icon Forging will and then claim ancestor property as legal heir

If one manages to obtain land khatha's of ancestors based on forged will in which he declared himself as foster son and then claims that he got it as a legal heir, is it acceptable legally?


A. If the forging of will can be proved, legal recourse lies for the same. However, as a general rule, an adopted son can claim property of the adoptive father under Hindu law, just as a biological son can. If you find the answer helpful, please rate me.

icon Witness to Will in India

I want to get my will witnessed by a married couple, i.e. husband and wife. Is there any restriction that the two witnesses to a will should be unrelated? Or is it ok for both to be a married couple?


A. Hi,
There is no such bar. Witnesses should be adults, i.e. above 18 years of age. While choosing the witness you must keep in mind that they should survive you as they may need to testify the Will after your death. Please contact a lawyer for further advice.

A. Dear client,

It is very important for an advocate to see the will and the declarations made there in. If there is no such mention if your cousins name, then his taking away your property is absolutely illegal.
Contact an advocate as soon as possible.

icon Judge asking for Legal Heir Certificate for childless widow

My Aunt (my father's sister) was deserted by her husband at very young age and earned her own livelihood by doing a job expired last year. In her will, she has willed her house in Jamnagar, Gujarat to


A. Hello Sir/ Ma'am
A legal heir certificate is thus a crucial ‘post-demise’ document to establish the relationship between the deceased and legal heirs and who the legal heirs are, in order to claim certain assets. But the legal heir certificate is required when the person dies without any will. Although if judge is asking for the same you could submit an affidavit Stating that their is no living legal heir of the deceased person.
Thanks
