Dear Lawyers,
Before I start, let me give a brief background
My father in-law who used to take care of issue pertaining to my mother-in-laws brother's shares and property, while brother was in bad health and cancer patient ( expired ) passed away in February this year. He was handling affairs on mother in law's brother's behalf.
My mother in laws mother has sent us a notice for recovery of 13 lacs.
Some facts of this case:
MY father in law did these transactions in a joint account in his own name and brother in laws daughter's name
Unexpected he fell victim to liver cancer, and survived only for 5 months after that.
While he was not well, he made a payment of 7 lacs to that family.
In the same account his own mothly income scheme(MIS) got redeemed to the tune of Rs. 5,00,000
He never involved his son in any of his transactions/ mails sent to that family.
Never ever has any transaction been done from father in laws account to my husband's account
Also while mother in laws brother was a camcer patient the whole family stayed in our flats for at least 7-8 times, for which we never asked any compensation, neither the money father in law spent in commutation and other things.
I need your guidance on how to reply to notice and recover the money which has been spent by father in law in kind and cash
Regards
Manisha
