Dear Friends/Advisors,
I need some advice on a property inheritance situation that has surfaced.
A person expired suddenly living behind a substantial inherited as well as personal property. He is survived by his widow and 5 married daughters(no sons). Person did not make a will. Unfortunately 2 daughters are under the influence of criminal minded and antisocial elements who can advise them to act against the other heirs.
The solution that we are looking at is get a succession deed done. And in the same process also get all 5 daughters to relinquish their share in favour of their mother.
Now the question is, for the mother to have full control of the property is it enough for all 5 sisters to relinquish their share or should their husbands also must relinquish?
A local lawyer told me that if all sisters and their husbands relinquish except one person, then the entire property is divided into the remaiining heirs. Is that true?
Kindly adviise me on this situation. I am a friend of the family in question and have no benefits from this. Trying to help them out.
Thanks and Sincere regards.
Mitesh
