Sir, If most of the properties are self acquired and gifted to you, then they are your sole properties and even your wife don't have a right to them .... So its upto you as to how yo distribute these properties.... In self acquired properties or gifted properties as in you case the legal heirs have no right to claim anything ... Its your 100% prerogative to dispose off the property the way you want to .... Warm Regards Kapil Chandna Adv 9899011450

The properties appear to be your self acquired properties in which except you, nobody else have any right or share or interest in it, hence it will not make any impact in the proposed mutual consent divorce, you may proceed as per your proposal without worrying for such things.
