Hi,
This is the situation of a family. There are four children - 2 brothers, 2 sisters - in the family. 1 brother is married, and 1 sister is married. Their parents are no more. The married brother's wife went to her mother's house soon after the marriage, and since then there is no relationship between him and his wife, though they have a kid. None of the family members even talks with the brother's wife and her family. She was a total mismatch to the family.
Now, if the brother's wife applies for a share of the property, how much share would she be getting? How can the family maximize saving their property from going to her, legally? They want to see none of the property goes to her, since she was never part of the family - emotionally or physically - and she is as good as a stranger. Some properties are in the name of the grandfather (who is also no more), and some in the name of the father. However, there is no will left by father or mother or grandfather.
Kindly advise about the strategies that are legally allowed.
Thanks.
