Reading: My wife’s mother is her father’s second wife, born after his passing. He left a registered “vyawasthapatra” for 2 acres of agricultural land in her name, prohibiting sale or gifting, valid until her death. My wife is his only daughter. The land is also shared by his first wife’s three daughters, their two sons, and my wife and her mother, a total of 7 people, holding a 7/12 share (2.73 hectares). His first wife’s sons don’t seem interested in the land. My wife’s mother is 75 years old and unable to work. Could you advise who will inherit the 2 acres after her passing, considering the “vyawasthapatra” and the existing co-ownership?

According to Indian law, the 2 acres will pass to your wife after her mother’s death, as the “vyawasthapatra” specifically states it’s hers until her death. The co-ownership is irrelevant to this specific portion, though it will impact the rest of the inherited land.
