Question: My in-law's were gifted an L&DO property in Delhi by my mother-in-law's mother. After my father-in-law expired, we learnt the property wasn't registered. We soon made a new lease from the L&DO dept and registered it in my mother-in-law's name. They have 2 daughters (my wife and sis-in-law) and a son (my brother-in-law). To register this in her name, her 2 children (son and daughter) and my children (in lieu of my wife who has expired) made a relinquishment deed. Initially, when the property was in both my in-law's names, they had made a will stating all the children have an equal share in the property. Recently, my sister-in-law and her husband got a new will made but are refusing to divulge the details of the same. In case the property is sold, who will be the beneficiary of the sale proceeds? Is it possible to sell property without the consent of my brother-in-law and my children?

Answer: However, prima facie, all the legal heirs has surrendered their rights in the name of mother in law. Therefore, mother in law becomes sole property holder (Part of the father in law would have come to legal heirs).
