My father, a retired pensioner, and I are part of a seven-member family from Rajahmundry. My mother, unfortunately, passed away recently, leaving behind a will written by a notary. She bequeathed her three houses to my divorced sister, leaving the rest of us with nothing. This decision was made without my father’s or my consent. The will was witnessed by my maternal uncle and aunt. My sisters are refusing to share a copy of the will or provide any details, leaving me feeling cheated. My father supports the will, but I believe we all deserve equal shares, including my deceased sister’s portion. I’m seeking legal advice on how to proceed in this difficult situation.

In India, a valid will bequeathing property requires the testator’s (deceased mother’s) free consent and two witnesses. You can challenge the will in court, arguing that it was not executed freely or that it was influenced by undue influence. You can also seek a copy of the will from your sister and seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.
