Mr A had a residential property. He died intestate leaving behind his wife Mrs B, son Mr C and daughter (married) Mrs D. Till now there has been no partition deed and the property is undivided. Now son Mr C has sent a legal notice to daughter Mrs D stating that mother Mrs B has already executed a Deed of Gift for her share of the property transferring to son Mr C. And Mr C now being 2/3rd owner is asking for partition of the property. Now, 1. Can mother execute gift deed before partition of the undivided property ? 2. Can the gift deed be challenged on basis that it was made under coercion or force? 3. Can the daughter refuse to execute the partition deed?

Dear Client,
First, the court would look for the car at the address you provided when registering as a member of that particular country. In the event that the car is not there, it can be ordered by the police to search for it and attach it wherever it is. If you transport the car from the address that is registered with the court, it is true that the court can send police to look for the car and order it to be impounded wherever you are.
Answering your queries one by one,
1. Under the terms of the special power of attorney, the mother can make a gift deed of her undivided share in the property right from when no formal division has occurred. The gift deed for her share will be okay, but it is necessary to physically partition the property so as to know the actual shares.
2. Yes, one can avail of the gift deed with the pretext that it was a gift under duress or compulsion. This can be achieved by providing some form of evidence that there was prior coercion or undue influence when the gift deed was prepared.
3. The daughter may also decline to assent to the partition deed or to complete it because she has a good reason not to execute the gift deed, such as the fact that the deed was made under force. Even the mother may challenge it, but it must be remembered that both the mother and the daughter have these rights. This is because the daughter can commence a suit in court and contest the deed on the grounds that the deed was not executed voluntarily or was executed under undue influence.
