How to protect father's property from hostile son & ex-wife?


16-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
Hello all, A brief summary. - My father & mother have bought the current building where we reside. They are the landlords & had bought the building in 1979. - We own & occupy two flats in the building. In my parents will, they have given one flat to me and one to my brother. - The other 3 flats in the building are occupied by tenants (pagdi system). My parents have willed the building, common areas & joint landlordship to me & my brother (jointly). - Mom is alive, daddy has passed away. Now, I am divorced and happily married with my 2nd wife. Things are hostile with my 1st wife and my son (from 1st wife). My question = how do I protect my parent's property from my hostile son? Is the will enough? Am hearing contradictory things about wills, self-acquired property etc. so thought of coming here for advice. Can he make any sort of claim on my parent's property? If so, how to prevent that? Thank you!

This is my response to you:
1. You will have show the contents of the Will;
2. It should be a valid Will;
3. If proved invalid in court of law, then you have less merit in acquiring the property;
4. If it is valid then they cannot challenge it on amy ground;
5. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.
