Dear Mr. Rama Krishna, Please understand that anything and everything can be challenged in a court in India 🙂, but if they sign as witnesses in the deed of will/gift and it is clearly stated that they have no objection and do not like to share the property, then it should be fine. Please consult a lawyer and obtain legal advice. If someone dies without making a will, they are said to have died without a will. In this case, the property is distributed among the heirs, as determined by the applicable inheritance law of the country. Inheritance law depends on the religion of the deceased. Normally, laws classify family members as Class I, II or III heirs, and the deceased`s property is divided among them by the court. Class I heirs receive the first preference and so on. For example, in the case of a Hindu man who dies intestate, class I heirs include mother, wife, children, son of a predeceased son, etc. However, the father is not the immediate legal heir of a Hindu man. Thus, if there are no class I heirs of a Hindu man, the father has the right only to receive his son`s property. Hindu inheritance law also states that any legal heir of the same class (e.g.

B, all class I heirs) have the same right to any property of the deceased if there is no will. The bank usually pays the money to the candidate and he/she must transfer it to the legal heirs based on their eligibility. Dear Vijaya Kumar, you can write a written will in which you state your will and wishes. You can donate your properties in your grandson`s name. Suggest that they have it done by a professional, or you can consider using the services of ONLINE WILL DRAFTING Companies. Please read my article on „Now you can write your WILL online“. Hi Sreekanth, We have a property jointly owned by my wife and me. We want to tell our daughter. Do we have to make 2 separate wills or can we make a joint will? Are there drafts or samples of wills that we can prepare ourselves if we live outside of India? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Yes, a will takes precedence over the nomination. A candidate for property is only a trustee until the court decides who is entitled to the property under inheritance law. Dear Sreekanth, My husband passed away recently and we were abroad when it happened.

I want to write a will immediately, just in case something happens. Can I use your format for this even if I am currently abroad? Do I have to go to a consulate and have it certified or something like that? I really appreciate everything and every help. Thank you. Marie Two people have the right to make a joint will, but a joint will is only valid if it is made by two people who are related or who have co-ownership or who are co-owners of a trust. A joint will is perfectly valid according to all personal laws. Dear Manoj, If you write a joint will only for this co-ownership, you can create a joint will. However, if you include other resources, you may want to consider creating separate WILL. I have a question about the testamentary document created by a person. Is the self-written will on the testator`s white paper valid in certain situations before it is registered? and suppose this can be considered valid after the death of the testator? A will is a document written by a living person in which he declares that he wants to be executed after his death. You can simply write the will on a piece of paper and list all your beneficiaries, assets and their distribution. But even a simple will can have hidden complexities, and the inherent ambiguity can lead to disputes, disputes, and enduring bitterness among families. There couldn`t be a more appropriate time, which has to do with the surrounding uncertainty and gloom, not only to write your will, but also to dispel any doubts you had about it.

Here are 5 questions you need to know the answers to or that usually bother the minds of those planning their estates and making wills. (i) In respect of the lease property, if it is rental property. In the case of leasehold property, the inheritance is effective as long as the lease does not expire. If the lease expires during the lifetime of a testator, there is no inheritance. However, the same is not true for freehold ownership. I suggest converting the property to a condominium after paying the required fee, which would give you the right to inherit the property through a joint will. (ii) Although it is a single document, the joint will is a separate distribution of property by each executor (signatory) and is treated as such when admitted to the estate. (iii) With regard to the condition of the fixed amount of interest to be sent to non-profit organizations, this may be included in the joint will. Later, person X gave part (1) to Y as a gift certificate. Then, the above will apply to Part (2). Condition (1) becomes invalid because the portion of the land is given as a deed of gift. Is the entire will null and void? I own an apartment with my wife.

I understand that in the event of the death of one of us, ownership of the apartment passes to the surviving spouse, even if this is not expressly mentioned in the will. A person has written a will in which executors are named as their grandchildren for inherited ancestral property. the son of the will sold the property WITH or WITHOUT knowing of the existence of the will. Dear Mr. Srikanth, your efforts to assist in the preparation of a document are commendable….
