Share of Property
5 years ago
My mother in law stays with me
The flat in which we stay is in the name of my husband but my father in law had paid 60% and my husband 40%.
My brother in law stays separately
But my mother in law wants to give him share in this property in spite of not at all staying with him.
Secondly there in another flat in the name of my mother in law.
Can you please advise how much share is my brother in law eligible to get in both the properties even though my mother in law is not going to stay with him

A.It is not like who lives where. The issue is if it is a family property i.e. ancestral property then all heirs will have equal share in such properties. If it is self acquired, then only the owners have right in that property. As regards your bro.in law, if the property is acquired by your mother in law and your father in law, then he (bro.in law) will have right to share in that property in future, unless it is disposed of by them during their life time.

A.From your question, it is not clear as to whether ur mother in law is a co owner in the property. Otherwise, she can give her share in the property to anybody she wishes during her life time by way of will or gift deed.If she does not write a will, then her share in the property will be equally divided as per schedule to Hindu succession Act unless one of such person entitled to such share after her death relinquishes his/ her share.
