Dear Forum Members,
I need your valuable feedback on the below situation.
My dad had the immovable property in his name. Its not an inherited property from my grandparents, it was bought after my fathers marriage with his own money. My grand father had prepared a WILL for my father stating that "all his properties belongs to his son(ie., my father) and the daughters (ie., my aunts) are settled thru marriage and dowry. Thus they have no rights on my grandparents property".
But my father passed away a decade before, leaving behind his wife, daughters and both parents. My grand father and grand mother also passed away few years after my fathers death. My grandparents did not prepare any WILL after my father's death. If i'm not wrong, the earlier WILL becomes VOID after my father's death, and my grandparents would have got an equal share from my father property if they are alive.
Now the question is, who can be the true successor of my father's property? Is it only my mother and I? or my aunts do also have rights on my father's property? Is it possible for my aunt to claim the property thru any hidden WILL's If at all made during my grandparents presence?
Is there a way to figureout the existance of such WILL's? Or is it possible that my aunt might have received a share of my grandparents thru gift?
Plz advice how can i findout the legal issues on our property from such intruders.
Thanks for any help.
