Property ownership

Dear Experts,

There was a lot of different advice on the following sub matter.

My periamma ( Elder sister of my mother) is a spinster & having the own house in her title.

She wanted to give her house to my son who is aged 10 years.

She had wriiten will  for the above said proprty to my son's name  & the same was regietered.

Now my question is that shall v have any  problem in future  from my uncle & aunties who are  born with my periamma to claim the property ?

Few people told that since my periamma is spinster, her borthers & sister have rights to claim the property though with registered will?

Pl let me have clarity as per law.

Even her brothers & siaters claim the property, will it be accepatable as per law or not?

Pl clarify.

 

Regards,

 

Elango.

Once a Will is created, it will be effective after her death.  Brother and sister cannot object unless a will is proved to be obtained by fraud or otherwise.

Sir,

Thanx for the response.

The said will was created at the registerd office with her own wish only.

The same was accepted by registrar with eyewitness.

Still will  any other procedure be availabe as per law to be more transparent or to avoid such kind of case raised by her brothers & sister ?

Pl revert back

Thnx

Dear Mr. Elango,

As already advised by Mr. Khan, a registered / unregistered-Will  will definitely have validity.   

Please also be advised that a person can execute any number of will (not withstanding that he had already executed a will in favour of somebody earlier relating to the same property).  In such a scenario, where there are a number of wills, only the will that was executed last will have validity (i.e. even if a will was registered earlier, if another will with a later date was written and left, with or without registeration, the later will will have the effect, the earlier will, even though registered will have no effect.)

Any will, can be challenged by the interested parties.  Even a very genuine and true will executed with clear sound of mind and sincerity can be challenged, on the grounds of fraud, coercion, undue influence etc. etc.  However, it is for the party to defend such a challenge and succeed.  By the way,  please indicate who are the witnesses to the will registered by your periamma?

It is not enough that your periamma has registered a will in favour of your son, but it should also be ensured that she does not write any other will in favour of any other person at any point of time after such registration.  That is crucial.

Hope you had got my point exactly.  

I clarify  to ur mail that was only one will. Eyewitness is my  family friend.

To my understanding from the above replies,

 my periamma's brother & siater having the right ito claim the property since she is s spinster.

Even regd will will be there, they can challenge on any ground that will take unwanted time to succeed.

To avoid such kind of problem, what will be advice?

Shall I buy the property from her ie changing document to my name thro sale deed>

If it is legally ok, pl guide the procedure.

I shall be appreciating your kind & timely reply.

Regards,

Elango

Better try if she can give now itself a gift to your son rather than through a WILL.
