Hello,
My Mother-in-law wanted to make a will stating that everything to be given to her gandson after he turns 18. The issue is that my mother in law's son expired last year and she don't trust her daughter-in-law with the property. She wants to make my wife as caretaker of the property till the grandson is 18 years old.
Can she make such a will?
What all complications are there for such a will?
Thanks

Quick Summary

A mother-in-law wishes to leave her property to her grandson upon him reaching 18 but doesn't trust her deceased son's wife to manage it. She wants to appoint her daughter (the grandson's aunt) as caretaker until the grandson is 18. The key question is whether she can legally create such a will and what potential complications might arise, especially regarding the property's ownership status (self-acquired vs. ancestral).

Whether the property of your mother-in-law is self acquired or ancestral which is most important to reply.

In addition to the opinion and expert advise of Mr. Kavksatyanaryana which I endorse and appreciate, she can/may/should appoint her daughter as executor of the will and bequeath (state) to devolve (pass on) the property in favour her grandson.

Yes she can entrust the trustee, provided the daughter also accepts the responsibility. Because under no legal compulsion, the daughter can be bound to play the role of trustee!

Your wife willing, she could be the executor of the Will.
