Mr.’A’ has gifted residential property at Bangalore to his first wife Mrs. B who subsequently divorced him and remarried someone else. Both Mr. ‘A’ and Mrs.’B’ have got a son from their marriage and the said son has expired on attaining 33 years of age. Meanwhile. Mr. ‘A’ has also re married Mrs.’C’ and subsequently Mr. A has also died intestate leaving behind his second wife and children. Mrs. ‘B’ (ex wife of Mr.’A’) has been in possession of the gifted property. However, Mrs. ‘C’ , the second wife of Mr. ‘A’ and their children dispute the title held by Mrs. ‘B’ since she has divorced her ex husband who gifted the said property and they now claim that they are the right persons to succeed to the said property. I seek the help from the learned Forum members in ascertain the legal status of the said property. Please clarify.
