before his death he has done gift deed registration of his house in the name of his only daughter .

Yes Gift Deed is valid.  Others will not have any claim since gift deed is registered during his life time.

Suggestion of brother advocate Sastry is correct. As far as pension is concerned, all the people having rights on it.

@Dear brother Rama Chary,

Thanks for your compliment... As regards pension I feel that the nomination of his first wife must have been entered in his service records and accordingly she must be getting the pension... In fact I did not comment on this because Swetha mentioned that ..neither the second wife nor daughter is getting use of it .

Daughter is only having on right on the property. Since gift deed cannot cancel once it is gifted.

Advocate Sastry (Advocate)     19 March 2013

@Swetha,

From the facts mentioned by you, the daughter will be the legal owner of the property... The gift deed is registered and the Donee (daughter)  will get full rights over the property if she has accepted the gift at the time of registration.... No one else can have any claim over the gifted property...

swetha (student)     19 March 2013

thank you for your answers , sir ... another small clarification ... if the first wife appeals to the court to get share in the property , does court accept that  ? as i mentioned you before that first wife is not even giving the pension to second wife and the daughter ..she is only utilizing it alone ..

Advocate Sastry (Advocate)     19 March 2013

The first wife will not get any share

Gift Deed duly registered is 100 % valid as long as the donor is the absolute owner of the property. In our country, as per the Registration Act, any one can Gift anyone's property. It happened in my case. The property which has been registered in the name of my father was gifted by a fraudulent lady to her son claiming that she inherited the property from her husband's grandfather. The Registration officials simply registered the Gift Deed without verifying the ownership and contended that it is none of their business to check the ownership. Swetha Madam, I am not placing points against you, but I am telling you the facts. If the property is owned by your father, then the Gift Deed is 100 % valid and no one can challenge it. As regards the Pension issue, when a second marriage takes place during the life time of first wife, it is null and void and the second wife will not get any pensionary benefit as per the government rules.
