so far as self acquired property is concerned, it can be disposed off in the manner the owner likes. so if it is bequeathed by a will can't be challenged unlike the ncestral property. same applies to gift deed. The donor can gift or dispose the same off in the manner he/she desires and nobody else has any right o interest in the property. Gift deed as well as will both can be challenged qua ancestral property but there is no remedy so far as self acquired property is concerned

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (practicing advocate)     15 October 2010

It is an self acquired property of your MIL. When it is self acquired she can dispose it according to her will and wish. In this case it is gifted to the son, so it is valid, but it can be challenged by any son/daughter/SIL by taking a contention of fruad, coercion etc., but very important is limitation point it is be looked into if the suit is filed.

Sathyan A.R. ( Advocate practising tax advisor)     15 October 2010

Your monther in law has absolute right to tranfer her self acquired property either by way of will or by way of gift.

 The will being a testamentary document  the property passs on to the beneficiary on the death of the testator ( the person who makes the will in his life time). The will could be registered or not registered. A registered will has a better standing of proof when it is contested.  In this case nothing bars the other to contest the will on the ground and with sufficent evidence that property in question is not  self aquired or the one in which the testator has no aboloute right of ownership.

In the case of the Gift the effect comes in to play immediately on the date of gift.

2. Is this gift deed valid without  the will PROBATE 

3.The property card is still on  my nana &nani and my mama s 

Pls help as they are planning to sell the property  and we are in not good conditions at all 

pls suggest me all there thanking you all 

Sathyan A.R. ( Advocate practising tax advisor)     19 October 2010

it is not easy to giftr away 100 cr of property without any bodys knowledge especialy of close relatives. i think some think is missing in your statemen. It will be prudent on your part to consult in person some expert advocae if the property in question is worth of 100 crores.

in such matter you may think of filing a caveat in case the case has already filed or try to bring an injunction on the sale of property in question.

any how i adivce you to consult a reputed civil lawyer and furnish him all details and explain him in person.

SIR SORRY i just wnat to know is will with out probate is valid or not 

Sathyan A.R. ( Advocate practising tax advisor)     20 October 2010

Proabte is a legal certificate issued by the competant court authenticating the genuineness of teh will.

When probate application is made the person making the application has to gie he name of the other legal heirs adn notices issued to them to conform their claim. 

It is therefoe necessary to obtain probate in the executin of the will.

Transfer entries in registrtion department or land records cannot be made without probate.

Bank balancs cannot be appropriated without Probate.

Hence it is ncessary that one obtain probate before executing the will.
