Received Legal notice. But the person is no more

Why should Mr A respond to a legal notice sent to Mr B ??  NO...You DO NOT need to respond to legal notice which is not sent to your name.  As for future..dont worry...cross the bridge when you reach there.

There is nothing wrong in sending reply to a legal notice. Filing case on a dead person or sending notice on a dead person is not valid in the eye of law.

Fisrt of all; If the Notice was in your father's name and you received it means you got the knowledge about the dispute of right. Had you returned the Notice with statement that the Person is dead already then you had no obligation to respond. Anyway you must submit the  reply the Notice through some senior lawyer dening any of such rights catagorically.

It appears from your query that property belonged to your Uncle and your father had purchased from his brother. If there is a regesterd sale deed in your fathers name then you need not worry a bit ,just ignore any damn thing. But if your father has purchsed without any documents then you have to establish the right in the court and it can raise a dispute. Though the fact is your uncle has sold his absolute rights during his life time that means the daughtes cannot claim from you their rights now.

However if your father has bonafiedly purchsed the property then you don,t need to worry. It is just greed that makes some people to create discomfort to others.
