Legal consequence for failed marriage

Dear querist,

 

She is legally wedded wife of deceased has all right in assets of deceased.

For obtaining marriage certificate approach issuing authority, she has all right to obtained duplicate copy of same.

 

Now person who was causing problem is no more you can arrange meeting among elders of both the families and try to send sister to her matrimonial place.

 

In case there is more issue then legal doors are always open but that should be last one.

Thank you Sir for timely resposne.

However I would like to know can they misuse death certificate where her name was not mentioned for any movable or immovable assets on his name.?

For what purpose they can misuse.he has any assets or valuable ornaments He has any right in ancestral property . U says he was schzophizia patient and was not earning member of the family.they have married him for family pride only. Ur sister is sufferer.thing about future of Ur sister and her child past is bitter.contact local advocate &do family settlement.

Thanks Sir for kind reply. Yes as far as we know there four properties jointly held by him and his father. Also behaviour of his family members towards my sister is not good since July 2017.

Usually in case of Male name of father is mentioned on Death Certificate.

In case of married Female name of husband may be mentioned on Death Certificate.

Apparently there is nothing unusual in death certificate issued for deceased, as in query.

 For your satisfaction go thru; application for issuing death certificate that is avialble in Website/office of Registar of Births and death.

Probably you are confusing death certificate with Legal Heir certificate.

 

Which personal law applies in your case?

Are all involved Hindu?

Has deacsed left any undisposed estate/property that is self earned/acquired, ancestral.

The said property is agricultural land, rural, Urban, or it is a building?

Have the deceased i.e. left any valid WILL?

The property is in which state?

Confirm!

 

Succession opens on date of death; by inheritance or by testamentary succession (by valid WILL).

In case of Hindu male dying without disposing her estate/property in her life time by a valid/registered deed the 1st right is of ClassI legal heirs i.e Mother (if alive as on date of death), Wife (if alive as on date of death), sons, daughters……

 

In case of deceased Hindu woman dying without disposing her estate/property in her life time by a valid/registered deed ClassI,II is not applicable rather nature and source of property matters.

 

If the property is self acquired/earned/absolute in the hands of Hindu woman the 1st right is of her husband (if alive as on date of death) and sons, daughters…………

If property is acquired from husband side 1st right is of her sons, daughters…………and if sons, daughters are not available then legal heirs of husband..

If property is acquired from parents side 1st right is of her sons, daughters…………and if sons, daughters are not available then legal heirs of father..

 

You may understand the procedure.

Legal heir certificate is issued by LOCAL O/o Tehsildar. Some states may have online mode and procedure/process etc may be available on website.

Some states/authorities may even accept certificate issued by say; MC or even Legal heir affidavit.

The wife of deceased being Legal heir of deceased can apply for Legal heir affidavit/Certificate and also copy of marriage certificate.

Succession Certificate is issued by LOCAL Civil courts.

 

The authority under whose jurisdiction property falls has a set procedure for such matters if NO WILL has surfaced; Intestate Succession…….and the prescribed forms, procedure, process is available in O/o Authority and even on website. Death certificates, legal heir certificate/affidavit (per local procedure-precedence) are basic requirements. Then authority shall act upon and transfer the ownership in the name of legal heirs. Obtain copy of updated mutations records showing share of legal heirs. This grants rights equal to that of owner to legal heirs. All legal heirs are at liberty to relinquish/release/transfer/gift/sell their share in anyone’s favor.

 

The authority under whose jurisdiction property falls has a set procedure for such matters if the WILL has surfaced; Testate Succession…….and the prescribed forms, procedure, process is available in O/o Authority and even on website. Certified copies of the WILL, death certificate, legal heir certificate/affidavit (per local procedure/precedence) are basic requirements. The authority may ask for NOC from legal heirs (other than beneficiary) and/or to release newspaper advt and/or may write to legal heirs to submit their objections if any within set time.

 

If there is NO contest to the WILL by any legal heir then authority shall act upon the WILL without any cloud on it and transfer the ownership in the name of beneficiary.

If WILL is contested it lands up in probate court of pecuniary jurisdiction. The court shall decide on validity of WILL.

The legal heirs may also consider perspective of registered  family settlement after the WILL and register it.
 

Check locally and comply with procedure. Thereafter concerned official in the O/o Authority e.g; Patwari, shall act upon the matter and transfer the ownership by inheritance/probate in the name of legal heirs in mutations records.

Thereafter obtain copy of updated mutation records.

For partition by boundaries either decide amicably (best recourse) or take help of other elders of the family or panchyaat or court of law..

 If WILL is not submitted to be acted upon then it becomes matter of succession per personal law that applies.

Although it is wrong since the WILL exists.

Check locally and comply with procedure.
