My father passed away leaving behind property and investments under his joint family (HUF) name. His will doesn’t mention anything about this HUF estate. My brother has taken control of these assets, claiming them as part of the HUF. As a married daughter, do I have any rights to this family wealth? My mother has cut me off from her own property. Can I seek a share from the HUF estate, and if so, how much and how long will it take? What are the potential legal costs involved?

As a coparcener in the HUF, you have a right to a share in the HUF estate, even though your father’s will didn’t specifically mention it. The exact share depends on the HUF’s specific rules and the number of coparceners. You can file a partition suit to claim your share, but the legal process can be lengthy and the costs vary depending on the complexity of the case and your legal representation.

My aunt married in 1990. Her husband moved to Bangalore and asked her to live like his sister. He then married his junior colleague and started living with her and his family. His second wife works with him at the same office. Two weeks ago, my uncle passed away from cancer. His second wife, who works at his company, is the nominee. Who is legally entitled to receive his benefits? If the company gives these benefits to his second wife, will we be able to get them back? They are not being helpful. My uncle worked at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Research. It would be a huge help if someone could guide us. My aunt’s family is struggling financially, so any assistance in this case would be greatly appreciated.

My wife left our home in 2014 and filed cases against me and my family in my hometown. The police filed charges, but there’s been no hearing yet, and we’re on bail. Now, two years later, we got a letter from the women’s police station in my wife’s hometown saying she filed another complaint. Should I go there to explain our side? Can she file a new case even though we haven’t been in touch? I’m hesitant to travel to her hometown.

It’s been a year and two months since we got married. My husband is excessively focused on money, even avoiding taxes. He restricts my spending, even on food, to save money. He’s even made me work as a waiter in a restaurant despite my family’s comfortable background. I need advice on how to manage our finances as I believe gaining control over our money is the only way he’ll listen to me.

My husband’s family received a significant amount of money as a wedding gift, deposited into an account jointly held by my husband and his father. Now, during a legal dispute, my lawyer requested bank statements and PAN card details for this account from the past year. However, my husband is refusing to provide them, claiming his father has disowned him from the family business. This seems untrue as he still has access to the ATM and knows his PAN card number.
