An anglo Indian received ancestral property partitioned bw him and Two sisters. It is Estate but barren when he got it
He has 2 sons. Now sons with him filed a suit for partition being unjust etc. Asking higher share. His share received isn't issue in suit.
Elder son developed estate. A SPA or resort kind is run in.only home in.estate. brand Value is there. He is married has 2 daughters.
younger son.Well settled abroad. Unmarried.
Father wants to Give unequal share to sons. Bigger portion with home, brand, resort to elder in WILL.
Is there legal catch? If will isn't made will sharing be only.as per Indian.Succession.Act? Is Family settlement possible during.fathers lifetime and after?
Thanks in.advance

The concept of 'ancestral property' is unique only to the Hindus. Therefore the question of 'ancestral property' is not applicable in the case of Anglo Indians.
