When my father-in-law died, he left no will. My wife and her brother were the two natural heirs to his property. The two of them drew up a partition deed dividing the assets of the deceased with approximate values of the immovable assets divided as per the then succession law in force at that time. Over a period of years almost all the assets have been sold and converted into shares and FDs. These have grown over several decades into considerable monetary assets. My wife has no independent income other than from these monetary assets. If she writes a will allocating some of these assets to persons other than her natural heirs, can it be disputed by her natural heirs, that it was not permissible as the assets have grown out of her inherited property?
