It explores whether one can file a case for share/rights on in-laws when the mentally ill spouse has been deprived of their rights, or if a power of attorney is required.

The National Trust Act, 1999 governs guardianship for mentally disabled individuals in India. Under Section 14 of this Act, a local-level committee has the authority to appoint a guardian for mentally disabled persons. The appointed guardian must inform authorities about the individual’s movable and immovable properties, debts, assets, and liabilities within six months of their appointment.

As rightly advised by Shri T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate you may contact a local Lawyer with full details.
