My Wife's Aunt was the sole owner of a property that she bequeathed to my wife by making a Will, as she is separated from her husband and has no living issues. The property was her self acquired before her marriage.
Subsequently, she sold that property and bought a new flat jointly with my wife in a Co-operative Housing Society using the sale proceeds and some contribution by my wife. My wife's name stands first in the Agreement.
After the Aunts demise, her husband has staked claim to the share of the property in Aunts name. Aunt did not make any fresh Will nor made any nomination as we did not think it would be required.
The Will pertaining to the old property has this following sentence:
"And this Will shall apply to all my Property of whatsoever nature and wherever situate."
Does this imply that the present property is covered by that Will?
Also in the earlier Will, Aunt had mentioned that she is separated from her husband for more than 15 years and that her husband or any of his relatives have no claim on her property.
Will is not Registered.
