Property Rules: All children should serve and care for their parents. However, nowadays, it is seen in many families that children do not care for their parents. Some, preoccupied with their own lives and work, ignore the needs of the elderly. Others deliberately distance themselves from their parents.
This leaves parents isolated. This raises the question of whether such children can be deprived of their property or excluded from the property. Due to a lack of proper information, the elderly often lose their rights or become embroiled in disputes with their children. Let us explain what the law says about this.
What is the law regarding eviction from property?
If a parent's children don't take care of them or treat them well, can they exclude them from their property? Indian law doesn't allow children to be disinherited solely on the basis of their irresponsibility. According to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, children are the rightful heirs of their parents' property.
Whether they take care of them or not, it's not easy to withhold their share simply because of a child's irresponsibility. However, parents can manage their property through a will or trust and reduce future disputes. However, this will require legal advice, so they don't have to go to court later because of their children.
What can be done about this?
If parents want to ensure that their children's irresponsibility doesn't impact their property, there are several options. The easiest way is to create a will, which clearly states who will receive what share, and if they don't want to give anything to the children. This can be mentioned in a will.
Furthermore, property management can be done through a trust or a law firm. Some people make service and responsibility conditions for children to receive their share, so that only responsible children can benefit. This option is also legally valid. By taking such steps, the elderly can protect both their property and their rights over it.
