Property registered as it is for male descendant after wife's death


04-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
My maternal grandpa registered part of his property to his wife in 1983 mentioning she(grandma) can enjoy the property and after her death it should be enjoyed only by his male descendants. At that time of registration 1983 my grandpa was having one boy child(my uncle) and one girl child(my mom)Does my grandma have the power to gift deed this property to my mother? Because, in 1998 my grandma gift deeded the property to my mother. Now my uncle's son are claiming that property saying what my grandma gifted is not valid. Please clarify.

To clarify your doubt without any confusion it is necessary to go through all the related documents and its contents. Based on the expressions in those documents the rights of your grandmother and other legal heirs can be made out. If your grandmother was not vested with power to sell or alienate the property then the gift deed will not be valid.

yes, if the property has been given on settlement to your uncle by your grandpa then it is an absolute settlement and that settlement deed is valid in the eye of law, whereas if she has any right over the property could be said only by scrutinizing the settlement deed by your grandpa, there any be any clause said about your mother
