This query is : Resolved
I am a senior citizen with 61 years of age. My husband made a Will in which he had made me the sole beneficiary of his movable (bank balance, FDs, shares etc) and immovable property. He had not inherited any property. He has passed away recently. I have a son and a daughter. I want to know whether legally I am allowed to make a Will as per my wish for the assets my husband has transferred to me by his Will? Please advice.

YES, since the properties bequeathed by your late husband through will are your personal properties,you can use it in any way that you may like without any kind of objection or claim from anybody.
As you are the absolute owner of the said properties, you have the complete legal right to make a WILL. It will be advisable for you to get the WILL Registered. It does not involve any cost, if at all very very nominal. The WILL if Registered will eliminate any difficulty or dispute between your heirs in a later date. The WILL has to be attested by two persons - the said witnesses should not be the persons who will get benefit from the WILL.
