THE INDIAN SUCCESSION ACT, 1925

Navigating the legal intricacies surrounding inheritance and succession can be a complex and emotionally charged experience for individuals and families. Central to these matters is the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (ISA), which serves as the foundational framework governing the distribution of a deceased individual’s property. At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, our team of seasoned lawyers is dedicated to providing comprehensive guidance and support to clients, ensuring their understanding and effective utilization of the ISA to safeguard their wishes and secure rightful inheritance.

Crafting a meticulously drafted Will is an indispensable aspect of planning for the future and ensuring that assets are distributed according to one’s desires. Our legal professionals possess an in-depth understanding of the ISA’s provisions pertaining to Will creation and execution. We guide clients through this process, meticulously ensuring compliance with all legal formalities to minimize the risk of future disputes. Whether clients seek to allocate their estate to immediate family, charitable causes, or a combination thereof, we work closely with them to craft a Will that accurately reflects their intentions and objectives.

In situations where an individual passes away without a Will, the ISA dictates the distribution of their estate through a process known as intestacy. This can lead to unintended consequences, particularly for families with non-traditional structures. Our lawyers meticulously analyze the ISA’s intestacy provisions, providing tailored advice on the legal rights of surviving spouses, children, parents, or other heirs. We advocate for clients’ fair share of the inheritance, ensuring they receive what is rightfully theirs under the Act.

Disputes regarding inheritance are not uncommon, and the ISA outlines the legal framework for addressing such conflicts. Our team’s expertise extends to mediation and negotiation, with a focus on finding amicable solutions that honor the wishes of the deceased and mitigate family conflict. However, should court proceedings become necessary, our skilled litigators fiercely represent clients’ interests, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights protected throughout the legal process.

We recognize that inheritance matters often arise during periods of profound grief and emotional vulnerability. At Bikram S. Sidhu – GLAS Law Firm, we approach each case with sensitivity and understanding, providing not only legal expertise but also compassionate support throughout the entire process. Our firm is committed to empowering clients to make informed decisions about their legacies and safeguard their inheritance rights.
