Hi,
I have married againts the wish of my parents. Both of us belong to diff religions and we separately practise the same. We have a son. We visit our parents individual as both set of parents refuse to meet the respected spouses.
My parents have a house and its in my dad's name. But any money that went in purchasing that house was my mothers.
All this while, I was least concerned, but now, this has me worried. So far both my husband or me - we - havent inherited anything or taken any money- property from our respective parents. We didn;t intended to.
What bothers me now, is that I am the only child of my parents, and my dad being so angry with me, wishes to give the house to my cousin. It doesnt really bother me much, coz I dont stay in the same city as theirs, and as a person, he can donate his house to any one he wishes. But as a person, I am feeling bad. My relationship with this cousin is good, But who would return - such gifts anyway?:P
I am not a saint saying - ok let it be, but I also feel, that I should have it. I am not gonna have a suit or hire a lawyer. Don't want all that. But, If my dad HASN'T made a will? Would it automatically come to me?
The property papers as registered has me as the nominee.
Any insight would be helpful. I understand this could be deemed as a personal matter, but anything in this which can be as per law would be appreciated.
TIA
