will registered

if beneficiary dies before registered will,( under dispute),is finalized (compromised) in
HCourt.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a complex legal situation where a beneficiary died before a registered will, which was under dispute, was finalised in the High Court. The will was registered, and the testator passed away, leading to a legal challenge by the testator's heirs. Before the case concluded, the beneficiary died intestate. Subsequently, a compromise was reached between the testator's heirs and the beneficiary's heirs, who then received the property. The query focuses on the inheritance status and equal share distribution among the beneficiary's surviving husband, unmarried daughter, and widow of a predeceased son.

Facts posted are vague and not clear as to whether the beneficiary dies before testator (which you have mentioned "registered will") if so, the will becomes infructous and invalid.

The parents, spouse and children are the immediate legal heirs of the deceased person. When a deceased person does not have immediate legal heirs, then the deceased's grandchildren will be the legal heirs

Will was registered, there after testatore died , immediately will was challenged in court by legal heirs of testatore, the matter reached High court,before case was finalized, only beneficiary died intestate, after few years there was compromise between heirs of testatore and heirs of beneficiary . Hiers of beneficiary got the property.there were three living 1.husband 2.unmrtied daughter and 3 widow of predeceased son without child.
