My family is looking to buy a house. The previous owner left a will stating his wife would inherit the property, with their son inheriting from her. His five daughters were excluded. After his passing in 2002, the daughters and son added their mother’s name to the property records, citing the will. Now, the widow wants to sell the house. Her son, who lives overseas, has given a power of attorney (registered in Belgaum) to proceed with the sale. The daughters are also willing to consent. Can we safely buy this property, and what steps should we take to protect ourselves?

Based on the information provided, it seems like the legal heirs, including the widow and her son, are in agreement with the sale. However, it is essential to verify the authenticity of the power of attorney document and ensure it grants the son authority to sell the property. You should also obtain consent from all legal heirs and conduct a thorough legal due diligence before finalizing the purchase.

My father and his brother inherited a house in Thane from our grandfather, built around 25 years ago. We lived there for a few years before moving out due to family disagreements in 1993.

Previous Article We placed an order for materials worth ₹90,000 last December, paying an advance of ₹10,000 upfront. The supplier claimed the materials were ready after a few days and sent a proforma invoice, prompting us to pay the remaining balance. They even provided a US bill of lading number. However, the materials never arrived, and the bill of lading turned out to be fake. The supplier then began sending partial deliveries – ₹25,000 worth of materials after two months, another ₹20,000 after six months, and finally ₹1,000 after ten months. We intend to file a case of cheating under IPC Section 420. What is the correct legal procedure we should follow?
