Succession Planning/Partition

Succession Planning/Partition

When a person dies without a “Will”, the assets of the deceased are divided amongst legal heirs as per the law. This legal form of a succession is referred to as an “Intestate Succession”. In contrast to Intestate Succession, a Testate Succession is performed when deceased person has executed a valid last Will/Testament. Under Indian Law, there are very strict rules that must be followed in order to make last Will/Testament to be considered valid. We help our clients create a legal Will in light of the Indian Laws that can be upheld by Courts and also provide assistance to them in claiming their rightful share in assets in an equitable and amicable manner under the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) property laws.
