I should like to draw your kind attention towards a query related to a Christian family in Kerala..
Mini= my daughter (marriage held in 1988)
Santosh= Daughter''s husband i.e my son in law
Soshamma Mathew= Mini's mother in law / Santosh's mother
Susan,Sheelu,Lovely= Daughters of Soshamma/ sisters of Santosh (their marriages were held before 1986)
Soshamma's husband is no more.
Soshamma has four linear descendants including Santosh and three daughters.
Recently,Soshamma and after one month later Santosh(died due to cancer) passed away.I spent much money on his cancer treatment.
The Santosh-Mini couple didn't have a single lineal descendant.
My daughter Mini got the original will written by Soshamma from her husband Santosh.
According to Soshamma's will,the succession is destined to her son Santosh.Now,Succession property includes 36 cent land and a house.
In this case,as Santosh is deceased,what are the legal rights of succession to his wife Mini (i.e my daughter)????????
I am arousing this question in wake of the petition filed by sisters of Santosh in court,stating utterly unreal and foolish that the Soshamma's will is not valid and it is fabricated.They are saying that they should be awarded with a part of Santosh's property along with Mini since Santosh-Mini couple has no linear descendants.Also,sisters of Santosh was awarded with share of the then property ten years ago.Also,In the Soshamma's will,there is no single mention of succession to them.
Is this case significant?? What are the justifications in part of our side???
N.B : Also,I have a blank signed cheque given by Santosh to me.Is there any use???....
