Before the Fight Starts
A practical guide to property, wills, and inheritance for Indian families, written for the generation that has to handle these issues.
What’s inside.
In India, two-thirds of civil cases involve property, and most are disputes between family members. Many of these problems start because a will was never made. This book is for sons and daughters who see a family conflict coming but are unsure how to talk about it. It covers why parents avoid making wills, how to start the conversation, the difference between a nominee and an heir, what a gift deed actually means, who inherits if there is no will, the daughter's share, the NRI heir, and the son who refuses to move out. The book also includes a section in both Hindi and English that you can give to your parents. The author is an advocate with roots in Haryana and a practice in the NCR.
