Daughters are liable for share so they can ask.

Once settlement deed is executed duly stamped and registered V would be absolute owner of one fourth share in property 

2) it is not null  and void 

3) daughters can file suit to set aside settlement deed but they have to prove it was done coercion or undue influence 

- As per latest Supreme Court judgement , now a daughter is having her equal right over the property left by her father. 

- Hence, after the death of Mr K , his property would be devolved upon his wife Mrs.K , Son Mr V and two married daughters Mrs M & P , equally i.e. 1/4 th each.

- Further after getting the respective share in the property , this property would be considered as Self acquired property of all the legal heirs. 

- Hence, after getting her 1/4 th share in the property , Mrs.K is having her legal right to transfer the same to Mr.V either by way of Gift deed or Settlement Deed. 

- Legally both sisters having no right to interfere or claim over the property given to Mr V by his mother , and if they will file a case before the court , that will be not maintainable as per law. 

1. If the settlement deed was  executed on full consent and free will of the mother then the same is enforceable under the eye of law and can not be nullified. 

2. Therefore the civil suit filed by the sisters is likely to be dismissed on merit. 

3. Unless there is any order of injunction there is no legal bar to purchase from V . However such sale would be subject to outcome of such civil suit. 

The property left by the deceased owner, upon his intestate death shall devolve on all his legal heirs equally.

His widow has transferred her rights for her 1/4th share in the property  in favor of her son by executing a registered settlement deed in respect of her undivided share in the property.

This transfer is very much valid and her son can now claim 1/2 share in the property and his two sisters are entitled ton 1/4th share in the property each.

Their claim for their mother's share to be divided equally would not be maintainable in law.

If it was self acquired property then they can't claim anything now

The son now is the owner of his share ie 1/4th and his mother's share too as she gave it to him. Let them say what they want. The law says otherwise.

If settlement deed is registered with competent authorities under the law No problem with legality otherwise it can be challenged. 

1. On what basis the daughters are saying that settlement deed is void? It has not been declared so by any court.

2. If the settlement deed is signed and registered then it is valid.

3. Unless the settlement deed is perused threadbare no opinion can be formulated on its validity.

Need to look at all documents and facts.

G.Rajaganapathy 

High Court of Madras 

After the death of A without leaving a Will, his estate devolved equally upon his survivors and legal heirs, who, in this case, are his wife, son and two daughters. Everyone was entitled to 1/4th undivided share. Subsequently, the wife relinquished her 1/4th undivided share in favour of her son. This act is perfectly valid legally. The daughters cannot challenge it on any valid, legal ground.

Settlement deed is perfect. Daughters can challenge the deed but cannot revoke it.
