Dear Learned Counsels,
Person A executes a Notorised Will and bequethes his self acquired property (acquired in a family partition of properties) in favour of his parents and an younger sister (say Person D.) Person A's wife has deserted him and they have no issues.
The beneficiaries of the Will filed a Petition under Section 278 of Indian Succession Act for grant of Letters of Administration in respect of properties they have acquired after the death of the executor of the Will in favour of Person D. .
The estratnged wife who was made as Respondent does not appear and a paper publication also elicit no claims. Hence Court grants Letter of Administration in favour of Person D.
Now my question is whethter Person D. acquires the Absolute Ownership of the property ?
Or
All the 3 beneficiaries are the Absolute Owners by virtue of testamentary Succession.
Note: The Wife of Person A subsequently had died.
Kindly clarify my doubts.
thanking you.
Nagesh.
