Can siblings dispute if mother gave property through Will to me?
15-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
My mother bequeathed a self acquired property through a registered Will to me. Can my siblings dispute it although they also received other properties from her. Can I sell it without their consent?
A registered will is of more value than an unregistered will thereby you have full right over the property and can mutate the property in your name without their consent and approval so go ahead with the process.
Hello, In your case if the property is acquired by mother then your siblings cant do anything. After your mother, you are the absolute owner of that property.
Any person can bequeath his / her self acquired property to any one he / she wishes to and it cannot be objected to by the heirs under normal circumstances and nothing prevents you to sell it after getting it mutated in your name.
In terms of the will of your mother you are the absolute owner of the property. you can sell, gift or make a will of the property.
if there is a registered will that your mother has bequeathed in your favour than your sibling would have no right to claim it and you have all right to sell it without their consent. further Your siblings will succeed in culling out a share in the property only if they can prove that the will of your mother was forged or made under duress. If the will has been attested by 2 witnesses then it will hold its ground in the court.
