Inherited property

Dharmaraj (Querist) 14 August 2013 This query is : Resolved
Respected Sir,

If my widowed sister gifts me a house bought out of her earnings, will my wife have a right in that property?
Say in future we are divorced can my wife claim as a part of her alimony any portion of that house?

No ,she will not have any right just now.

Sir can you please clarity a little when you are telling "right just now", does that mean if in case of divorce she will have right to inherit her portion?

Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 14 August 2013
Her right may vary depending upon the provisions of New marriage Act to be put into effect in near future.

If it is gifted property to you then your wife will have no share in that.
New act to be seen yet

Gifted property is not inherited. Under the present law she can not claim any right in it. Condition may or may not change after new law if enacted.
