Can a deceased government employee's will override service benefit nominations?
My brother, a government servant, allegedly died by suicide due to his wife's conduct. Before his death, he executed a will in favour of his brother. What legal rights and remedies are available in this situation regarding the will and the service benefits?
If your brother left a valid will, its legal effect will depend on its validity and the nature of the assets covered. Service benefits are governed by the applicable service rules and any valid nomination, which may differ from the will. If there is suspicion of abetment to suicide or other wrongdoing, report the matter to the police and consult a lawyer to protect your legal rights.
