Dear LawyersClub,
can father-In law execute the WILL in the name of his daughter-In law for the property belongs to his Ancestors? He is having multiple immovable properties inherited from his ancestors. His son was unemployed and was not working since he got marriage to a physically handicaped girl. Father-In law wants to execute a WILL in the name of his daughter-In law for one of the properties. if he does so, do that WILL become valid?
It could be done very well.A Registered Will have more Legal Value Or even a Settlement Deed would be advisable for which the Registration Fee would be comparatively less.Consult and discuss with a Local Good Advocate
If the property is ancestral and if there are no other legal heir then father in law can make WILL in respect of such property. As such there is no restriction.
Which personal law applies in this case e.g Hindu, Muslim!
Father-in-Law can execute Will in favour of Daughter-in-Law for his self acquired properties and the ancestral properties.
