Can A Joint Hindu Family Property Be Willed Away To A Stranger. | Vkeel - Free Legal Advice

Raj

CENTRAL DELHI

We are a hindu family. My grandfather left property in his name at Delhi, wherein the price of the property was partly paid from claim made by him for property left by him and his father in Pakistan before partition. My grandfather had willed the property to his sons in 1987. My grandfather and all his sons passed away before 9 Sep 2005 except one son who passed away recently . The son who passed away recently willed away his individual share in the joint hindu family property situated in Delhi to 2 strangers who are not of this family but were taking care of him. The will is registered. The property has still not been mutated in individual names of the beneficiaries. Please advise if the son had right to will away his share in his fathers property to strangers outside our family.

Dear Sir, Normally if share is not defined then it cannot be willed out. Without seeing the background of the case in detail one cannot say under what circumstances it was willed away. For full procedure contact me on mobile through the Administrators of this Website.

Need to see the papers.. However based on ur query.. Being a hereditary property, there is no rights to make will, which is not valid. if he sold for beneficiary of minor, then it is allowed. Provided that minor may challenge the same later.. for further assistance plz book for consultation
