Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 23 April 2010 This query is : Resolved
I am still confused about the status of mother as legal heir in the ancestral property after the death of father particularly when father had already sold his share in the ancestral property before his death. Please clarify.

In the given case, wife after death of her husband shall be a separate unit and she can definitely inherit the property of her husband similar to all other legal heirs of her deceased husband.

No one unit.If wife or husband died the the living partner(legally accepted relations) has the right to claim their share as legal heir.

My father has stated in his will mother as one legal heir in the ancestral property, when he had already sold his share before his death. I want to know that wether mother has any legal right under this condition. Thanks and oblige.

I understand that:
Mother has no claim in the leftover ancstral property after the death of father, as father has already sold his share. Father has no other property also. But what does it mean " If she claim the ancestral property we will get another case". Please make it clear. Thanks.

In the ancestral property, wife dont have any rights during her husband life time. After the life time she has the right equally along with other legal heirs.

But in your case during the life time husabnd sold his share to others and legally there is no property to claim as his share after his life time.

She can claim, if there is other property of her husband. If she claim the ancestral property we will get another case
