My maternal grandfather owns 3 acres of land, and my grandmother owned 3 acres along with some additional properties. Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away three years ago. Two years ago, my grandfather wrote a will stating that the entire property would be divided equally among his three sons and two daughters after his death. However, recently, his sons pressured him into writing a new will that allocates the majority of the property to the sons, leaving only a small share for the daughters. The original will is still in our possession. According to Hindu law Is it legal for him to create a second will without invalidating the first one? Also, how can my grandmother's share of the property be transferred to the sons?
Sir, while your grandfather has the right to make a second will so it may be contested if it was created under undue pressure. The transfer of your grandmother’s property will depend on the legal heirs' agreement and the formalities of inheritance. Legal action can be taken by the daughters to contest the will and claim their rightful share. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
