According to the law, if a father wishes to give his property to a specific person, he can do so through a will. Without a will, the property is divided among the legal heirs—that is, the son, wife, and daughter—based on the rules that determine who will receive what share.

If a father wishes to give his entire property to his son-in-law, this can only be legally done if his name is clearly mentioned in the will. Without a will, this is difficult because sons have a legal right to inherit the property. People often assume that a father can transfer his property to anyone he wishes. However, the law states that the rights of both sons and daughters are protected. Therefore, it is important to prepare a will to avoid disputes later.

If the father has made a will and has written a will giving the property to the son-in-law, the son or other heirs can challenge it. It can only be rejected if there is evidence of fraud or coercion. The law states that a property transfer without a will is not valid. In this case, the son’s rights come first, and a son-in-law can only become the property owner if the son gives his share or if the will clearly states otherwise.
