My friend's father occupied a one bedroom house, soon after migrating from Karachi in 1947. There was no agreement with the landlord and they have been staying there ever since. My friend's father died in 1974 and the reciept for rent was transferred to his wife's name. She is now in fail health and asked me what are her rights as regards that house. Can she sell it by giving some amount to the landlord. Can she include it in her will. She wants money to move closer to her daughter's house in view of her current health condition.
Please advise
