My father is worried about his property being claimed by his second wife. She already inherited property from her previous husband. Can I legally transfer ownership to myself or someone else? Would a will help, even if my father and stepmother aren’t keen on this idea?

Under Indian law, you cannot legally transfer ownership of your father’s property without his consent. A will is a valid way to transfer property after death, but your father must be willing to create it. His second wife’s prior inheritance doesn’t impact his right to dispose of his property as he wishes.
