Whether your grandmother is alive or not is not stated. If she died, the Will come into force. As per Will, your father and your uncle have equal rights over the property. Now your uncle died. So your uncle's legal heirs have equal rights over the property of his share.

Seek surviving member certificate from area SDM, prepare list of legal representatives of deceased titleholder and show the document of will to a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts/ documents. professional guidance and necessary proceeding.

You asked " can my aunt challenge for her share ? Clear Who is your aunt when your uncle was unmarried .?
P. Venu (Expert) 21 October 2020
The Will is of no relevance. On the death of the grandmother, the property has already been vested with the beneficiaries i. e. Your father and the uncle. On the death of the uncle his properties would be inherited by his legal heirs. The uncle being unmarried, your aunt (sister of the deceased) is a legal heir.

Hi sir,
1)my uncle did not marry.
2) my grand mother had 3 kids. 2 sons and one daughter. My granny did not include my aunt's name in the will as my aunt had already been given her share.

I would like to know if my aunt will also be beneficiary for my uncle share or since my aunt name was not mentioned in the will, will my father be solo beneficiary for my uncle's share?

It includes both self earned and ancestral properties. They are immovable properties.

You asked:
1) Is will still valid ?.
Reply:
Yes, will is valid. The testator has already expired.

You asked:
2) can my aunt challenge for her share although her name is excluded from the will?.
Reply:
She has no share in the property due to the will. She can claim her share from the property share of your uncle along with other legal heirs of uncle (since expired)

You asked:
3) As my uncle died and he did not have legal heirs, will my father be sole beneficiary for my uncle's share as well since my aunt's name is not mentioned as beneficiary in the will?.
Reply:
Property of your uncle would be inherited by all his legal heirs including your father and aunt as he is not having other legal heirs.

If he was Hindu and was not having class -I legal heirs, property would be inherited by class -II legal heirs.

2) my grand mother had 3 kids. 2 sons and one daughter. My granny did not include my aunt's name in the will as my aunt had already been given her share. I would like to know if my aunt will also be beneficiary for my uncle share or since my aunt name was not mentioned in the will, will my father be solo beneficiary for my uncle's share?
Reply:
Your Aunt would not get share due to will, she is entitled for a share as legal heir of your uncle. Your father is not sole beneficiary of your uncle share.
