Dear experts,
My father had a earned property in delhi and a piece of agricultural land from my grandfather in malaysias in distt rewari, Haryana.He passed away leaving a registered will registered in 2005 in my favour.Now my two sisters are demanding their share in property.One is married and other is unmarried.They had dragged me to the court in delhi as well as in haryana.We belong to hindu family.
Please provide me suggestions that what my sisters acan do against my father's registered wil.
Thanks

Your father has absolute right in conveying his self acquired property in your name. But is there anything ancestral property?
Surrender K Singal (Expert) 20 May 2010
Ancestral property would be governed by the latest amendment of 2005 of Hindu Succssion Act providing equal rights to all heirs irrespective of gender; Father could validly make a WILL in respect of his self-acquired property only; If that WILL gets challenged and not proven or probated, the sisters would be equally entitled as per 2005 amendment !

Sisters can claim their rights in agriculture land which your father got from his father.Contest the case and prove the genuineness of the WILL in relation to your father's self earned property.
