In India, property inherited through a will becomes the absolute property of the beneficiary. The inheritor has full ownership rights and can gift, sell, or transfer it as per their wishes. If the property is self-acquired by the father and passed via a will, it is not considered ancestral, and no other heirs can claim a right over it. Therefore, gifting it to one major child is legally valid.
However, if there are disputes regarding the Will’s authenticity, other heirs can challenge it in a civil court under the Indian Succession Act, 1925.
