Hello All,
I have a scenario and I am here for some advice from the legal luminaries. I have a friend (female) whose mother’s property is to be transferred.
Mother (M aged about 65 years) --} Daughter (my friend aged about 45 years) --} Granddaughter (GD aged about 19 years)
My friend (Daughter) and her husband are not on good terms, and in fear of life she does not want the property from her mother to be registered on her name as a gift deed.
My friend’s daughter, who is the granddaughter above GD, is radical in nature and is quite close to her father, so she does not want the transfer done directly from Mother to Granddaughter.
What are the possible options?
We are considering a conditional will from mother as below:
Mother (M) executes a will in such a way where the property will be transferred to on a date where
a) granddaughter (GD) upon her marriage or
b) after the life of the daughter (my friend) whichever is LATER.
And until such date the beneficiary of the aforesaid property remains as the daughter (my friend).
Is this legally viable? Is there a better way of handling the situation?
Thank you
Ravi
Uncertainties in the will will lead to litigation in the future.
You are writing that the property shall devolve upon the
a) granddaughter (GD) upon her marriage or b) after the life of the daughter (my friend) whichever is LATER.
so it s confusing.
You can make it simpler
After the demise of the testator the property, It shall devolve upon the daughter and after her {Friend mother} demise to her daughter {Grand daughter of the testator}.
Get it vetted by an experienced lawyer to avoid confusion in the future with simpler terms
