Title: Advised NRI Client on Inheritance Rights under Indian Succession Act
Description:
An NRI client based in the US sought legal advice regarding their rights to ancestral property in India after the death of their father. The family was divided, and no will was left behind.
I assisted by:
Analyzing the applicability of the Indian Succession Act and Hindu Succession Act
Drafting a legal notice to other legal heirs
Outlining possible partition and mutation procedures
Advising on peaceful family settlement options vs. legal enforcement
Outcome:
The client gained full clarity on their legal position and was able to begin settlement discussions from a position of strength. A family partition deed was later signed with all siblings.
