regarding last will

You can file such an application and seek copy of the will from the Registrar's office as per the laid down procedure.

Contact some advocate or consultants that have their kiosks near the Registrar's office.  They can search and find it out if there is really a will.  The presumption is that there must be a will in view of the complications in the family.

If the above person is amenable for counselling by Elders, have a family meet and get the matter resolved. Of course, if he is stubborn and does not care anybody, you shall have no alternative excepting approaching Court of Law.

Then contact a good and dependable Lawyer and get a case filed against the person who is withholding the Will, seeking partition as per the Will. He shall be forced to show the Will or if there is none, he has to admit it. In the former case, since the Will is out, the contents shall be known and the authenticity of the Will also shall be subject judicial scrutiny.  In case, he admits there is no Will, Court shall ensure the proper partition of properties among all the Legal Heirs including the Second Wife (as she was married only after first Wife's death).

sir thank you very much for the guidance you all have offered it meant a lot for people like me who have no idea regarding such things....

sir can you please suggest me some good lawyer regarding such cases in mysore.

one more thing sir my father-in-law had some Amount deposited in the railway bank and soon after the death he has closed the account and has claimed the amount but the bank( bank where he was receiving the pension) says the passbook has his name has nominee so...is he complete authorised to get the saved beneficiaries or as a second wife children do they have any share in it...even this was not disclosed but accidentaly we came to know...

Second Wife Children have every right to get equal share in the estate of the deceased father who died intestate.  If there is a Will, whatever is written in the Will shall apply.

It is the discipline of the forum that a post should cater to one specific issue and the issue raised in Post first query was:  LAST WILL

The post and replies must adhere to the will only.

You can not divert this topic to some other issue "Validity of nominations"

Search in the forum as you have many such forceful discussions with two different views.  However, if there is a mention of such bank accounts in will it prevails.

Normally the NOMINATION is a direction to the Banker that he can settle that amount in favor of so and so and according to some experts, the nominee is a trustee only.

Some consider him as an absolute owner due to nomination given to the Bank for settlement of the claim in case of death.

However, if you wish to file a partition suit, you can demand for a share in each and every property owned by the deceased.

Contact a local advocate who can provide meaningful guidance. Go to Mysore, establish contacts and entrust the case to a sincere advocate.

Do not purchase further problems by selecting the wrong one, as locals have an advantage.  

Once a notice is issued, facts emerge one by one.

File a suit for partition of the property, impleading all LRs (children of first wife + second wife and children born from this marriage) through a local prudent lawyer, you will get due share in intestate property of the deceased.

Yes, the only option is to file a suit for partition equally among all the legal heirs, pleading that all the properties were left intestate and hence jointly vested with all the legal heirs. It is for the elder son to plead and prove the Will, if any,

Irrespective of the nominee and the funds disbursed by the Bank(s), all such movable properties are jointly vested with all the legal heirs. The nominee is just a trustee on their behalf.

My heartfelt gratitude to repective dignitaries for your valuable contribution...it meant a great help to me.
