Reading: My grandfather passed away, leaving a will that divided his property between his two sons and daughter. My aunt, his unmarried daughter, inherited a portion of the property. The will states that upon her passing, part of the property should go to her older brother and another part to her younger brother. Unfortunately, my aunt’s older brother isn’t supporting her, and she’d like to sell part of her inheritance to me, her nephew (the son of her younger brother). Is this legally possible?

Yes, your aunt can legally sell part of her inherited property to you. Indian law allows individuals to freely dispose of their property, including inherited property. However, it’s advisable to consult with a lawyer to ensure the transaction complies with all legal requirements and safeguards your aunt’s interests.
