• Property in joint name of H & F. EMI paid by only H.

I have purchased two house property in joint name with my wife. EMI has been paid thought deduction from my salary as my wife has no earning. I want to give the property to my son & daughter through a written will. After my death how my son & daughter will get possession and ownership of the property because the property's live owner will be my wife and without her signature how will it be possible?

Alternatively, is there any legal way where i can remove name of my wife from the registry of the property?

This property was bought on the joint names of you and your wife.

The property thus shall be jointly owned by both you and your wife.

Your wife has an equal share in the property.

You Can bequeath your undivided share of property in favor of your children.

You cannot bequeath the entire property because your wife owns 50% share in the property

If your wife transfers her share in the property by way of a registered gift deed or registered sale deed in your favor, you can become the absolute owner of the property.

Wife is not ready for gift deed or relinquishment deed in my favor. She has deserted me since April 2016. In coming days my may file case for maintenance after that i may file divorce case. But till date there is no development.

After my death, despite of my written will, how my son and daughter will get ownership/possession of property because my wife will not sign any documents.

Without your wife's consent or willingness to transfer her share in the property to your name, you cannot become an absolute owner of the entire property.

As said earlier, you can bequeath only your share in the property in your children favor.

Legally you cannot do anything beyond this.

1. You can will only your share in the property. You can create life estate in respect of your share in favour of your wife and thereafter pave way for succession to it by your children. Get a flawless will drafted by a lawyer.

2. Your wife's share will remain intact unless she executes the release deed.
