wife's right over husbands self earned property

Wife has the right to claim the property / share of her husband's self acquired property.  Legally she is entitled for the same.  But if the husband has written a will or any deed transferring his self acquired property in favour of anybody then wife has no right.

 

 

Thanks for the reply sir, there is no will but husband put nominee to one of the son and society says they recognise nominee only and not to the legal heirs as per the society laws.

The nominee only indicates the person who is authorized to receive the flat from the society under the society rules.   The right over the flat however, can be claimed by the legal heirs (mother) of the deceased in accordance with the law of succession.

 

In your case both the son and the mother are legal heirs.  Hence both are eligible for equal shares. 

 

Let the son receive the property (flat) from the society as per the nomination rules.  The mother can later ask her share from the son and if the son fails to give share, she can file a suit.  Hence both mother and son have equal rights.  I hope your query is clarified.

 

Wife cannot claim her share during the life of her husband. She can claim her share thru., his children. If the properties are husband's self acquired property then he can dispose the properties according to his wish and will. Nominee's duty is to distribute the property to the legal heirs of the deceased, he/she cannot claim anything. His or her duty is to only dishcarge the duty entrusted

 

If there is no will then both the son and mother have equal share in property.

If anybody refuse then court can help the other person.

well you have not made it clear that the self owned property aquired by you is before marriage of after marriage

it is after marriage, sir

If anyone of the experts will shed light on wat procedure to be followed and what r the expenses.

While the person is dead, and in his lifetime he nominated a person for the flat therefore, not the mother/wife, but the son will be the legal owener of the said flat.

As it is self earned property, the person has the full right to do so, if it is ancesstrial property, then such right could be in question.

Before westing money, please first check  the section of the act, by the other club members, who is in view that the mother has also right, though the owener nominated the son.

Gentlemen

 

Could you please shed some light on what Mr. Arup Kumar Gupta is Explaining. According to him there is no right of the mother on the above said property.

mr prabhakar  will kindly tell, the sec of hindu succession act, where it is mentioned that where nominee of a decased will be bypassed.

mr salaria,

there is no right of the mother, while son is nominated by a decased, and the said property is not ancestrial.

Mr Anupkumar gupta pls refer Ashok Chand Aggarwal Vs. Delhi Administration - 1998 VII AD (Delhi) 639 DB

Dinesh,

Wife cannot claim the ownership rights in the property, she can only claim the rights of residence. Since the property is self aquired, you can nominate anyone to take care of your property after death and the simple will can put your property into safe hands. If you do not want your son to claim the property, then you can state the same in the will. In that way your son will also not be able to claim the rights.
