Right in property

Dear experts

Mr A is having 60 acre land in karnataka and have 3 son (x,y,z) & wife. A has got this property thru his own purchase (not inherited)

Now he has executed a will to distribute the property equally to x,y & wife.

i) Can Z claim any share in it ?

ii) If suppose out of 60 acre land, A had purchased 20 acre from his sources and 40 acre is ancestral (inherited from A's mother) , then is it possible for z to claim any share in this case ?

Please guide ?

Dear,

 

If A is Hindu and the property was self acquired, then he can dispose of the property the way he wishes, but if the same has been acquired with any amount out of the an ancestral property from the father side and not from the mother side, it will still be considered to the self acquired property, because of the simple reason that mother's never create a coparcenary, in effect the property acquired by A becomes his seprate property .

Then the case would be all togather different and it will become the ansectral property, since the court in cases where the ansectral property was merged with the self acquired property, believe that the same could have been done with the intention to get the same merged with the self acquired property (provided some circumstances be shown of  the father's intention to merge the self acquired into ansectral).
