A legatee cannot transfer anything, unless he has actually received the benefit/property in his hands through the bequest.

Naman Mohnot (Querist) 15 July 2014
A father had a son and a daughter. He distributed property between them through will. Now, daughter wants to relinquish her rights and wants to give property to some third person. Can she do ?

Full facts needed according to your latest query she can give away only if she as proper title over it and how is that third person related to her

Naman Mohnot (Querist) 15 July 2014
No relation with third person. In other words, what happens if legatee does not claim his/her rights?

If the Will has not come into force, noting can happen, hence please answer the experts' questions if you want a proper opinion.

Thanks to everyone. I got the answer.
If beneficiary (legatee)refuses to accept his/her share then bequest would lapse and intestate succession would happen. It was decided by Delhi High Court recently.
