Dear sir,
my friends late father an indian muslim has a self earned immovable property ( A house).he had divided the house in three separate portions for my friend,friends mother & friends elder brother in his registered dead will.But Later on my friends elder brother left the house along with his wife after some arguments with his father & mother even other wise his elder brother is irresponsible right from beginning .So after he left house with his wife & did not turn up for 4-5 years & did not turn up even when my friends father was sriously ill then my friends father decided to change the will deed & he just torn the copy of the will he had with him(other copy was with the advocate) he said after him property will go to my friends mother .But now my friends brother after so many years of his fathers death is fighting with my friends mother for his share in property & my friends mother don’t want to give him any thing as he is irresponsible.Now does my friends mother has rights to give property to whomever she wants? Can she write a dead will to hand over her property to any specific person like to my friend or to my friends sisters ( my friend has five sisters all are marreid) or anyone else? Plz answer my query from point of view of laws applicable to muslims of india.
