Succession

whether the will is relaring to ancestral property or self acquired property of your father? if ancestral, you may claim your share.

your father has all rights for his self acquired property and he can dispose off his property accoring to his own will

butWhen the genuiness of the will is questioned, the due execution of the will has to be proved by the person who produces the document to make or establish any claim. To prove the execution of the will, the examination of at least one attesting witness is necessary.

Dear Parimala,

Sorry, my reply to your query should not be this, but, are you craving for his love and affection or complaing solely because he did not leave you anything except for a lakh of rupees.

Mr. Husain is right. inadvertantly i could not see the word "self acquired.

I agree with  Mr Hussain Adavocate - I support his suggetion

I WANT TO SEE ALL PAPERS FIRST WITHOUT SEEING PAPERS [BLIENDLY]I CANT COMMENT BUT STILL U HAVE REMEDY.

FOR EXAMPLE  WHETHER  IT IS SELF ACQUIRED PROPERTY? SOURCES OF THAT PROPERTY? WHERE HE IS RESIDING  RIGHT NOW ?ALL OTHER THINGS  I HAVE TO SEE FIRST

In a self acquired property, it is the will of the person who acquires the property always dominate. sounds unfair but if the will is genuine then you don't have any other option.

Mrs. Parimala

As the self-acquired properties, the will can be executed in favour of a dirty dog even. But,  the will must be executed before 2 witnesses. Further , it need not be registered and it is optional for registration as per Registration Act

Mr. Husain is right.

Sorry Parimala. When ones the property is the self acquisition of you father and if you admit the same, then the will of you father will prevail and you have to get satisfied with the amount of Rs. 1 lac. The situation should have been otherwise if the death is intestate(without executing a will or testment)
