Regarding Inheritance of Grandfather�s Property

I am planning to buy a property from a friend of mine. My friend�s grandfather earned a house using his own money. He registered the property in the name of his mother before his death. The old man has now died. So she now owns an inherited property. 1. Since it is an inherited property, Can she sell the property to anyone if her son is not willing? 2. Since it is an inherited property, can she sell it without her son�s permission? 3. Since it is an inherited property, can she register the property or give it to someone else other than the son in her will?

So if I buy the property, will her son be able to put a case in future saying I needed his permission? Since it is an inherited property.

Thank you so much Why do you say if it is maternal Grandfather, consent isn�t necessary? Does that mean if it is inherited from paternal grandfather, consent from children is required?

If self acquired it is not necessary ancestral his consent is required.

Ancestral property runs from male side

The father registered the property in the name of his daughter, your friend's mother, before his death. In what manner did he register? Was it ealier in the name of the father, which later, he tranferred to his daughter's name? Any transfer has a consideration in the opposite direction. For gifts without monetary consideration affection will be treated as consideration. If it was a gift from father to daughter, the latter will have absolute rights to dispose it of also. No one can prevent it legally.
