Yes, a property will signed by a notary public can be disputed in India. A will can be challenged on grounds of undue influence, fraud, mental incapacity of the testator, or if it doesn’t comply with legal formalities.

My family has been renting out a commercial property in South Mumbai for the past 8 years under the ‘pagdi’ system. In 2012, a builder approached us for redevelopment. He promised to pay monthly rent for temporary accommodation until our new commercial space was ready, and we even signed a registered agreement. Initially, he issued a year’s worth of rent cheques, but after that, he stopped paying, claiming financial difficulties. This has been going on for three years now. I’m worried about losing our ancestral property. Is there any way to regain possession of our rightful commercial space and ensure a fair outcome?

My father passed away in January 2013, and I’m the legal heir to his property. He had a joint bank account with his daughter-in-law (my eldest brother’s wife) opened in 2009 under an “Either or Survivor” mandate at a major private bank. All his income, mostly house rent, was deposited into this account. I’m wondering about the legal rights of heirs to such accounts. Can we claim the money in the account or request to see the account statements, fixed deposits, etc.?

My grandfather, who passed away two months ago at the age of 87, had four sons. One of his sons, my uncle, received 26 bigha of land and a house from our grandfather. However, we believe this transfer was done fraudulently and without my grandfather’s consent. He was suffering from paralysis and unable to make sound decisions. We are considering filing a legal case against my uncle and his sons to challenge this transfer. I have a few questions: 1. If we file a case, how long will it take for the court to issue a stay order to prevent them from making any changes to the house? 2. What is the estimated timeframe for the case to be decided and what would be the approximate cost of hiring a lawyer?
