now they are insisting to complete all the works i.e total 4 works separtly i have completed three 3 works now and the forth one i am not in a stage to complete it as i will be under severe losses as the Quotation is of seven years old.
as the department is issuing a legal notice to complete the pending works as a legal hier.. what should i do and what legal steps be taken towards to get the payments towards the works done already?
as i am a third Son among Four members is there any problem being a legal hier?
kindly advice.

Depends upon the terms of payment partwise of the project as may be shown in the agreement on award of work. There may also be some provision of payment on running bills on completion of the part of the project. You may therefore check the terms of agreement.
However, on thorough examination of the documents concerning the tender document, award of work/ agreement and your father's will, appropriate advice can be given. If liked, you may contact with details at: dcgroup1962@gmail.com
