Hello,
1) If your father predeceased your grandmother after her death the property will devolve on his legal heirs namely your mother and all of you his children in equal measure.
2) This is true if the property that your grandfather willed was self acquired. If the property was ancestral your grandfather couldn't legally make a Will to bequeath all property to your father alone.
3) If the property is ancestral your uncle and aunts have no stake on the property willed in favour of your father. You must take steps immediately to probate the Will at the earliest through the court having jurisdiction in the matter.
1. The property was willed in favour of your father who died intestate,
2. He already owned the said property subject to his taking grant of probate on the said will from the Court,
3. Your grandmother only had the living right in the said property for her life,
4. After the demise of your father, all his legal heirs including your grandmother, i.e. all four daughters, your mother and your grandmother, will equally share the said property.So, all will share 1/6th share of the property each,
5. You shall have to file a petition for grant of probate of the will if it has nor yet been taken,
6. It shall have to be kept in mind that after the demise of your grandmother all her legal heirs including your uncle will equally share her 1/6th share of the total property,
7. It shall be prudent on your part to get a will executed by your grandmother bequeathing her share of the property in favour of your mother or any/all of your siblings.
As per your Question legal heir of the father are the actual owner of the property , Your uncle have no rights to claim the property as such your grandfather totally given to your father and your grandmother is beneficiary of the will. It is not a common property.
Yes , since your father passed away before the Will open to him the property will be liable for equal distribution on the death of your grand mother.
The will of your grandfather, in so far as it bequeaths the property to your father, has now become infructuous as the beneficiary i.e your father predeceased his mother. So the law of succession would now open up on the demise of your grandmother i.e all the heirs of your father will succeed to his share. Consequently, after the demise of your grandmother the widow and children of your father will succeed to the property. Any one of you can file a lawsuit for partition to cull out your share in the property.
This situation however, will not be permitted to defeat the intent of a testator—one who makes a will—and these terms can be applied interchangeably to either personal property or real property if the context of the will demonstrates that this was the intention of the testator.
The legal heirs of the beneficiary will be entitled to acquire the property after the life time of the grandmother as per the recitals of the Will.
Therefore the legal heirs of your father shall be entitled to a share in the property equally by operating the registered will.
Hi, it is the condition under the will that your grandmother can enjoy the property and after the death of the grandfather the will came into effect so your father become the absolute owner of the property so after the death of your father property will be succeeded to legal heirs of your father and other have no right in the property.
