gift of property

( 1 ) Yes, your father had a legal right to gift the property. ( 2 ) yes as per gift your wife is entitled to get 22.5% share in property .Your wife can not claim more than 22.5% share.

Thanks Mr Bhartesh Goyal. But I read somewhere that after 2005,daughters have equal right on the property as the sons have

If your father in law did not execute gift deed and died intestate then certainly your wife could claim equal share as his brother but your father in law had distribute the property through registered gift deed so your wife can not claim equal share.

If he died intestate then o.k. but he has gifted ,if u have not satisfied file suit that gift deed is illegal and challenge in open court .

please clarify
self acquired property or inherited property won't make a difference?? He gifted it when he was alive

As per you question let me clarify that an ancestral property cannot be sold or even gifted without consent of successors in case of major, while in case of minority you might have to take permission from the court. And if property disposed without consent can be reclaimed.

This is because essentially a person can gift his/her self-acquired property to anyone, as long as he/she is competent to enter into a valid contract in accordance the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
Which means person needs to be of sound mind and not a minor (i.e. should be above 18years of age) in order to be legally eligible to enter into any type of contract, as long as he/she isn't an un-discharged insolvent.

[NOTE:- In relation to daughters back in 2003 the Supreme Court ruled that a father can gift a reasonable portion of his ancestral immovable property to daughters at the time of their marriage or even long after their marriage.]

Hope it clarifies your doubt!
