Can a widow wife claim a her deceased husband's property

Hi All,

In a case a widow wife having a girl child, she is staying in her mother-in-law's house and taking care of her. They have 5-6 properties (all in the name of mother-in-law), and the income getting from those properties is taken by the mother-in-law and she is not giving any money to the daughter-in-law for expenses and to take care of child. Instead, she (mother-in-law) opened a joint account with her daughter (married) and kept all income in that account.

The Parents only have 2 children, a Son and a daughter. Here, Father-in-law, Son is no longer alive. The mother-in-law is selling some portion of the property without the knowledge of the daughter-in-law, and the amount received from the sale of the property is also given to her daughter.

In this situation, the widowed wife asked her mother-in-law to make her husband's portion property in her name or in the name of her minor daughter. Now the mother-in-law is saying I will not give anything to you, and she is saying I will give all the property to her daughter. Do whatever you want.

Kindly suggest the rights of the widow & Child of the deceased husband to get the Portion of her deceased husband.
Can a widow claim the portion of property of her deceased husband?
Can a widow file an injunction to not sell/modify the status of any property?
Can a widow wife claim a partition suit for her deceased husband's portion of property?

What legal right can she exercise?

Thank you all in advance.

Regarding will making

Is there any amendment in the law for the execution of a registered Will?

With deep respect for advocates practicing civil law.

What if you ask the tenant to pay the pending rent, and he suddenly sends you a letter demanding that you carry out major repairs? And when you ask related questions, he follows up by sending a legal notice demanding an amount equal to 30 years' rent—which he claims covers the repair expenses—and insists that you conduct the major repairs, otherwise he will hold you responsible for any accident

Awaiting the shrewd advocate's answer.

What would you do if I sent you a notice informing you that your father had orally agreed to pay me Rs. 5 lakhs before his death?

Pl. check for legal accuracy

I need your help.....Pl. Check for legal accuracy and relevance,Confirm citations and applicability,....Rule 4 of BCI Rules (Part VI, Chapter II) – to argue that Khemnani acted only as a “mouthpiece,” ignoring his duty to verify facts and restrain language.

Section 35 of Advocates Act – to seek formal disciplinary action.

R.K. Anand (SC) and Saumya Chaurasia (SC) – to show the Court expects independent verification by counsel.

Selvamurugan (Madras HC) – for sending legal notices with falsehoods.

Law Commission 266th Report – to show that this kind of misconduct is part of a larger systemic concern.

Can we claim land donated by great grand father?

Hi, my great grand father gave a part of our land to someone as Dhanam,(which is not registered) in the year 1961. In that patram, it is mentioned that the donee can use the land but cannot sell. Now, in 2024 the donee grand children sold the land to others, who are creating problems for us. The part of land donated along with other land of us is still in my great grand father's name. In this regard, I have the following questions:

1. What are the legal actions that we can take against the buyer?

2. Is it worth fighting the legal battle?

Please help with your valuable advice.

Poa by a pvt ltd company

Is the following legal requirement for POA given by the company especially selling UDS to buyers for flat construction? resoution only is given to a staff to sign on behalf of the company
A company resolution and a Power of Attorney (POA) are used in conjunction to authorize an agent to act on behalf of a company, especially when selling property. The POA needs to be registered with the Sub-Registrar's office to be legally valid in India, as per the Indian Registration Act. This registration ensures the document is legally enforceable and protects both the principal (the company) and the agent. (in essence, the company resolution sets the stage for the action, while the POA empowers the agent to execute the action, and registration with the Sub-Registrar ensures the POA is legally sound and enforceable. )
