Respected All, My humble request to you all is please answer my query. Thanks in Advance.
My Grandfather purchased a property in Hyderabad in my Father's name in 1956. My Father was 8 years old and at that time. No need to say he was a Minor. MY GRANDFATHER KEPT THE FACT "THAT THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED IN MY FATHERS NAME" A SECRET. Till today in the Registration records, the property is in my fathers name. My Grandfather PASSED AWAY IN 1979. My Grandfather EXECUTED A WILL ON THE SAME PROPERTY IN 1977 AND GOT IT REGISTERED. In the will he mentioned that it is his self acquired property. Since the property was /is in my fathers name, my father in 2014 gifted the same property to me.
My Question -
1. Is my Grandfather's WILL any VALID? Since it was purchased in my fathers name, i think my father was / is the Sole Owner of the property. When this Will was executed, my Father was 27 years and a major.
2. HOW CAN MY GRANDFATHER WRITE A WILL ON A PROPERTY THAT HE DOES NOT OWN?
3. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT - MY FATHER WAS THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY TILL HE GIFTED IT TO ME.
4. What is the defination of a SELF ACQUIRED PROPERTY.
5. will i be right, if i assume that "A PROPERTY WILL BE SELF ACQUIRED IF IT IS PURCHASED BY HIM OR HER IN HIS OR HER NAME with HIS OR HER FUNDS.
awaiting your kind reply's
Thanks.
