Can I use a blank paper with my mother's signature as a evidence
28-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
I have signed white paper from my mother with 2 other persons signature (as witnessed) before she died she used to stay with me those days she died 3 yers ago. My mother wanted to transfer all her property to me instead of my brothers , is the paper is valid in court. my brothers are using that property from long time. I am a hindu.
As it is a blank paper with your signature as well as of the witnesses so you can write a will on top of that and that can work in court. However, it would not be a good piece of evidence as the will should have been registered or an agreement notarized in order to be a full-proof work.
