Parents will for not giving share to daughter in law.


19-Mar-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
Property is currently owned by my mother and I am the only child, legal heir. My mother doesn't want to give any share to my wife who is seperated from me. How can I restrict my seperated wife from claiming her share from the property after my mother. I am not yet divorced.

Hi! Your wife cannot claim any right in the property of your mother. As you are the sole legal heir, if you want, you can ask your mother to execute a gift deed in your favour or else to write a will in your favour. I would suggest let your mother be the owner for now so that your wife cannot claim any right in the property. Thanks!

Well, If you want to stop your Wife from claiming your property, then it is ideal that you should purchase your Mother's Property from her with a Covenant that in future, such Property will not be transferable to your Wife by any means. If your Mother gives you this Property through Will or Gift Deed, it will be become your Self-made Property & as such, your Wife can claim it in the form of Alimony or Maintenance from you. However, when you are going to purchase this Property from your Mother with a Covenant i.e Restriction, despite this property being your Self-made Property after the purchase from your mother, but such property, Court will not transfer it to your Wife in Maintenance simply because of that covenant.
