Mother not disclosing fathers will what can I do


02-Jul-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, We are a Hindu family. Apart from me(son), my parents, 1 brother, 1 sister, our spouses and children form our family. My brother was living separately from 25 years and I was living with my parents. Due to some family problems, I also had to leave home 1 years back. My father died 10 days before and he has made a will. But my brother and my mother does not disclosed the will to me as they do not want to give anything to me and I am sure my father has given a property share to me as well. What can I do to get my share?

If you are sure that your father has left a will then you can send a legal notice to the person who has possession of the will demanding the will. If they fail to reply to the legal notice then you can file a case in the civil court.
If the will is a registered will then you can also check in the records of the registrar. Registrar keeps a copy of the will in public records. 
Even if your father has not left any will, then also you have share in your father’s property. You can file a partition suit in the civil court if and claim your share in the property.
