Can i write my will....

Genius (Querist) 02 December 2008 This query is : Resolved
My parents are seperated from me for 5 years...we just talk occsionally...my parents have self aquired property...and also ancestral property ...but they are holding all property.I dont whether they will give me their self aquired property but i have a share in ancestral property.
we are 2 sons to my parents...
i am living alone and away from my parents for 5 years...
i am raising my friend's daughter as my own daughter....not legally adopted...but staying with me all the time..i am givng her education and food etc..i dont have any property for myself to give it to her .
My health is not good...if anything happens to me i dont want that kid to leave like that...as a token of affection i want to give my property ( if i get from my parents ) to her...even my parents know that i am raising her as my daughter.
My question is:
1.I know she is not legal hier to my property which i get legally( ancestral property)...can i write a will for myself..that incase something happens to me she should get whatever i suppose to get from my parents...
2.my parents still did not give my ancestral property....but can i write a will for myself telling them that my ancestral property should get to my adopted daughter...
please advice..

IF you are a Hindu then you can very well write a will. But it is a conditional will. If you get the share it will devolve upon the girl who you have raising as your daughter.
