Challenges in cases of Will/Inheritence

A lay person is often confused over the matter of inheritance and Will. To reach an
amicable solution, first it is important to know for each person, what are his or rights
and entitlements For instance:
1. Whether an earmarked property is of the nature of the Joint Hindu Undivided
Family property or a self acquired property?

2. What are the rights of a person in case of each of the said property?

3. What are the rights of female members, in each type of property?, particularly
the rights of daughters, more particularly married daughters?

4. Whether a married daughter can seek partition of the dwelling house of her
brothers?

5. Who can make a Will and in respect of which type of property?

6. In whose favour the Will can be made?

7. What if one wants to change the Will?

8. Whether a Will needs to be registered?

9. Who can witness the Will and who can not?

10.Where to keep the Will where one does not want to disclose it to others?

And scores of such questions need to be ascertained first before the parties
can be engaged in fruitful conversations of reaching an amicable settlement.
