ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

This website collates and provides information as a one source contact point. There is a great amount of distinction between each religion and the succession based on that religion. Some religions have codified laws and some religions have non codified laws.  It is then also important to know that there are judgments of courts in India which have interpreted those Acts and that ultimately is the law that is in force in India.

There are legal processes to be followed in India in respect of obtaining either a Probate (in case a will has been left) or a letters of administration (in case of intestate succession).
There is a vast difference between a legal heir and a nominee. There is a general misconception that a nominee will inherit everything in exclusion to all other legal heirs.

While I have tried to keep updated and upload the latest judgments on the website, there may be a slight delay in updating the latest judgments on the website and its best that you check and consult your lawyer in India on the latest inheritance laws based on the facts and circumstances of your case.
