Your son would be entitled to a share in the ancestral property as is his right. Even if you leave behind a will, he can contest it after your death and file a civil suit to get his share back. It's only your self-acquired property which you can dispose of as you please.

It would however be prudent for you to have the will registered, so your son is unable to contest your (unregistered) will and thus claim any share in your self-acquired property. For that, I'd advise you to get in touch with a local advocate who can help you draft the will, also you'd need to pay the registration fees and get assistance of any 2 witnesses to have the will registered in the nearest sub-registrar's office.

It is felt that you may either:

prefer settlement deed with life interest.

Or registered WILL.

Avoid including as much as possible, ancestral properties, in WILL.

If workable and possible discuss registered family agreement with yor own counsel.

Or sell the self acquired property and you share (calaculate carefully and don't incluse share of Co parceners0 in ancestral property.

Buy separate units for each of loved ones and enjoy the rest and if you wish leave in Bank with clear nomination and a registered WILL for Nominees.

A very able local senior counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in civil matters.............and wel versed with rules/laws/cusrtoms applicable to your family roots/community/tribe can address all of your concerns.
