A. Generally, One can will property they own form their own earnings to whoever they please. On the other hand if the property
in question was acquired by inheritance; for example your father got the property from his father, then all children could lay a
claim to the property as it originally belonged to their grandfather.
Property disputes in India can last generations and takes a heavy toll on on concerned both financially and mentally and if
possible should be avoided.
