Property Inheritance Dispute Resolution

Summary

In Tamil Nadu, inheritance laws under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, dictate that if a person dies intestate, their property is distributed among legal heirs. However, a registered will generally takes precedence over intestate succession. In your case, since your grandmothers will bequeaths the property to your father, it may hold legal weight despite your uncles claim. Given the complexities of property disputes and inheritance laws, consulting a legal expert is recommended to evaluate your uncles claim and the specifics of the will. This will ensure that you understand the nuances and can make informed decisions regarding the property in question.

There is a property in name of my grandmother the sale deed says that, the seller of the property has got loan from a person( let's say b), sale deed states that for their personal use and to clear their debts they are selling it to my grandmother and there is no clear information source of income of my grandmother, and there are proofs that my grandfather's money is involved in helping the seller clear his debts from b. Now my grandfather died intestate, and my grandmother wrote and registered a will that upon her death my father bequeaths the property. my grandmother and my father both died, at present my uncle (fathers' brother) says that as his father's money was involved, he is entitled a share as his father died intestate.
