Neither son nor daughter has right of share in the self acquired property of father.

So the suit filed by your daughter has no merit and you need not worry of this.

However since it is a family dispute I would advise you to settle the same amicably.

Hello,

1) Neither your widowed daughter our your sons have any rights in your property you self- acquired. You have every right to dispose it of as you wish.

2) The suit filed by your daughter will easily get dismissed. You need to get a lawyer to file an appropriate written statement to defend your case in the court.

Hi, if the property was self acquired then your daughter has no right to claim the property and you have to contest the case on merits.

1. Children do not have any share in the self acquired property of their parents. Neither your daughter nor your sons can claim any share therein during your life time. You can make a will and give your property to your sons.

2. Since you have already given your self acquired property to your sons she has no right to question the transfer of property. Contest her case on merits by filing your reply on the date appointed for hearing. She has no legs to stand on in the court.

She will not be entitled to get any share from your self acquired property.

You are the absolute owner of the property ao no need to worry her case will be dismissed if you proved that the properties are your self acquired.

No children’s can claim right over self acquired property of father or mother. Your daughter’s case has no merit and it will definitely dismiss the court at the time of end of the case trail.
