Nature of self acquired property after it is transferred


10-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
A house in my grandfather's name (self acquired) after his death was transferred in my grandmother's name does the property become her self acquired property? My grandmother had gifted the said property to my uncle (father's brother) only while there are six children including him. Is this a valid gift?

I gone through your question, once the grand father earned the property in his name, it becomes self acquired property of him . If he dead intestatement the property, immediate of his death, his wife and children become sucessors on his behalf as lawful heirs. So the grand mother has no individual right on the deceased property. She has not become title holder on the entire property. She has a limited right on some portion only. So, the gift is not valid in law. It is not binding on her children. So, partition Suit can file in againt grand mother and holder of gift deed.
