My father passed away recently. We are four brothers, and I live separately from the family. Dad had given a power of attorney for his self-acquired property. Can I claim my share in that? Also, there’s another property that was in Dad’s name. He transferred the ownership to Mom before he passed. Can I claim a share in this property too?

Under Indian law, you are entitled to a share in your father’s self-acquired property as his legal heir, regardless of the power of attorney. However, the property transferred to your mother before your father’s death is likely considered her separate property, and you may not have a claim to it. You should consult with a lawyer to understand your specific rights and options.
