A will can be changed or cancelled by the person making it (testator) before they die. So, if your grandfather had changed or cancelled his will before his death, it would have been valid. But if he had already passed away, then his will at the time of his death would be final and any changes made after that would be invalid. So, the settlement of 6 cents for his second son would be valid, and the rest of the money would be divided among the other 7 children.

1. The latest settlement executed by your grandfather bequeathing 6 cents will supercede the WILL executed by your grandfather earlier.

2.  Hence the remaining 6 cents will go to all 7 children.

3.  The above answer would be correct assuming that the Settlement Deed executed by your grandfather was registered in the jurisdictional Sub Registrar's Office.

If he has given it earlier after rhis death if remaining property is in existence then the will is operative 

As on the date of enforcement of Will, the remaining property only can be acquired by the beneficiaries 

Since 6 cents of property have already been transferred by him during his lifetime, and if he had not cancelled the Will during his lifetime, then the bequest made in the Will shall be valid only to the extent of the properties remaining at the time of enforcing the Will. 

The remaining property can be acquired by all the beneficiaries of the Will at that time.

the Will was for 12 cents

subsequently a settlement was made for 6 cents from above 12 cents

hence the Will still remains valid for the balance 6 cents which will be equally divided among the 3 sons

whole will would not be superseded . only bequest for 6 cents would be effective . 

in other words 6 cents would devolve on 3 sons 

Dear client,  

The answer to your question depends on the specific terms of your grandfather's will and the settlement agreement that he made with his second son.

Generally speaking, if your grandfather's will included a clause that states that any subsequent changes to the distribution of his assets will revoke the previous will, then the entire will may be considered cancelled due to the settlement.

In that case, the distribution of the remaining 6 cents of land would depend on whether your grandfather made any further amendments to his will or made any other arrangements for the remaining land. If not, then the distribution of the remaining land would depend on the laws of inheritance in the relevant jurisdiction.

However, if the settlement agreement specifically mentioned that it was not intended to revoke the previous will or only applied to a portion of the land, then the remainder of the will may still be valid and enforceable.

It is important to consult with a lawyer or legal professional in the relevant jurisdiction to determine the specific legal implications of your grandfather's will and the settlement agreement that he made with his second son.

After amendment, the original will stands cancelled. The left over 6 cents will be divided among his seven children.

Will will abate after execution of settlement deed.

- If he had not mentioned regarding the execution of Will in the settlement of 12 cents , then the written last Will be valid for remaining properties , and it will not get cancelled. 

After writing the Will in respect of the entire estate of 12 cents, the Testator settled 6 cents out of it in favour of one of his sons. If, afterwards, the Testator did not alter the original Will by means of a codicil or write a new one, the reaming 6 cents shall become intestate estate automatically upon his death. Therefore, all the 7 children shall be equally entitled to an undivided share in it.
