Any possibility to write a WILL for the property involved in the partition suit

Dear all,

Grandmother is willing to give her share of the property to her Granddaughter which is mentioned in a partition suit since she is also one of the defendant in the said partition suit. Now she is sick. Is it valid to execute a WILL for the suit property with respect to her share she receives later? Otherwise please suggest me what to do in this matter. Grandma is willing to give her share from the partition suit to her Grand daughter.Still the suit is pending. Expecting your valuable reply.

Yes she can very well write a WILL l in respect of her undivided share in the properties. The said WILL is valid.

Sreedhar,


You have not mentioned as to who has filed partition suit against whom.


Whether the grandmother is the plaintiff or defendant in the partition suit.


Whether the granddaughter is a party to the suit or not


whatever it be, a person can dispose of his/her share of property acquired during partition as per his/her wish/will. But since the partition suit is still pending she can convey her share right now by whatever means it may. However the grandmother as a party to the partition suit can file an application before the court informing the court her wish to convey her share to her granddaughter.


Only after the partition suit is disposed off allotting shares to each of the party, the grandmother will get a right over her share upon which she can dispose off the same as she wants.

the will if made will take effect only after the partition suit is decreed.

In my opinion no will can be made without the permission of the court before which the partition suit is pending. Plesse see section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act.

 May I venture to say a few words. You will be very old before the Will is probated. You will end up coughing huge amounts by way of court fee and lawyers fee. All probates are granted by the High Court in Maharashtra and you can imagine what will happen.
