I am assuming that you are a Hindu.  If that's the case, the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 applies to you.  I am also assuming that your parents died intestate (that is did not leave any will).  You certainly can file a suit for getting your share of assets and the compensation for income enjoyed by your brother.  I would think that you should apply for a partition of your property.\n\n\nHere's the relevant section of the law that applies:-\n\n10  Distribution of property among heirs in class I of the Schedule\n\nThe property of an intestate shall be divided among the heirs in class I of the Schedule in accordance with the following rules:\n\nRule 1-The intestate’s widow, or if there are more widows than one, all the widows together, shall take one share.\n\nRule 2-The surviving sons and daughters and the mother of the intestate shall each take one share.\n\nRule 3-The heirs in the branch of each pre-deceased son or each pre-deceased daughter of the intestate shall take between them one share.\n\nRule 4-The distribution of the share referred to in Rule 3-\n\n    (i) among the heirs in the branch of the pre-deceased son shall be so made that his widow (or widows together) and the surviving sons and daughters get equal portions; and the branch of his predeceased sons gets the same portion;\n\n    (ii) among the heirs in the branch of the pre-deceased daughter shall be so made that the surviving sons and daughters get equal portions.\n\nI am a Chartered Accountant from India.

The executor of her estate will have the power after she dies, as far as I know.  But I am honestly not totally certain.  Good luck!

I don't know every state law but, I know that in most states, if the mother/father can prove that she has a home, stable income , and is competent enough to care for the child. She will be the first choice. If she isn't, family will be the next choice. You can pick a legal guardian but, any choice can be challanged in court.

Any parent has legal right to there children.  The best thing to do is to decide who would care for the kids the best due to your situation.  I would say my husband would be better because I am still in college and very busy and being a single mother can be hard.  Right now my husband is done with college and already making money. Also the children should stay with who ever gets the house.  They shouldn't be moved.  You could also just share.

Legally she can, unless the will specifies that the house is to remain in her possession until she dies and then passes on to you.  From just that one sentance it is clear that your grandmother desired to look out for your welfare also, however if she willed everything to her daughter with an "express desire" and your mother wants to sell the house you would have to fight it in probate court.  With just the information you've given it's hard to say, but it sounds like you are concerned that your mother is going to sell a house and you don't want her too.  If that's the case you need to get a consultation with an attorney familiar with Probate and he can let you know where you stand on the issue of the house.  A lot depends on what the entire will specifies.  Good Luck!!

wow 70% that would be a large payment!!!!!\n\nI can not believe people still think we get these "checks" for money and all these benifits.  First off how did you people calculate the "70%".  \n\nHer parents would have to be registered indians, and her grandparents and her grandparents parents.\nAnd then wow she can be called an Indian and really find out what it's like, and live in poverty like 70% of us do.

I'm pretty sure Grandparents have rights.  Contact a lawyer and see what they are.  Good luck.

Depending on the agreement that the sister that paid had with the mother, assuming that her performance of paying was based on a promise made to her by the mother she should ask her attorney if she possesses any legal rights under a promise estoppel. The owner of a property has the right to do whatever they wish relating to willing the property.\nBuena Suerte

Definitely not!  What right has the government got to take what someone has built up over their life??  I don't see anything unfair about it at all.\n\nPS no my family aren't multi millionaires - just average middle class family!!!

Are you seriously old enough to be married?  Because I've never heard an adult use the term "indian giving" LOL

It depends on a number of factors.  If your husband purchased the property prior to your marriage and no "communal" funds have been used for it's upkeep or maintenance than you have no right to the property via your marriage.\n\nIs your husband mentally competent ?  The POA (depending on it's wording) can give the son a broad array of rights regarding the property up to and including the right to sell or encumber.  I ask about his competency because it is one of the ways to challenge the authority given by a POA.\n\nIf your husband intends for you to have any benefit from the property than he should spell those rights out in a Last Will & Testament and seperately in a marital agreement as to the division of assets.

I believe Georgia is a communal property state which means all assets belong equally to husband and wife once they are married. That would make the will void because your father was no longer the sole owner of the assets once he got married--- his wife gets equal ownership as soon as they say "I Do."

Parents can leave any inheritance that they want to.  There is not a set percentage.

yOU HAVE TO CHECK YOUR LOCAL MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW. tHE PERSONAL LAW BOARD LOOKS AFTER THIS. THE HINDU SUCCESSION ACT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE IN INDIA.

It all depends on the parents' relative incomes. The site below will give you an estimate, but you should probably speak to a lawyer.

Are you in England or the USA? It alters your question signifcantly. If you are in the USA a public school is state run, what the British call state schools. In the UK, an example of a public school is Eton. Also, your rights as a parent depend on whether or not you have parental responsibility. In the UK you will have this if you were married to the mother at the time of the birth (presumably if your child is already at school he/she was born too long ago to be covered by the new legislation re this). Your financial contribution does not affect your parental rights, whether or not you have parental responsibility does. However if you have been accepted to be responsible for this child (ie you are paying maintenance) then you do have a right to have your opinion heard. Ultimately any dispute would be settled in favour of the best interests of the child.\nWith regard to fees, if you cannot afford to contribute to them and the childs mother can, you will have no liability for them. It is however my understanding that if you can afford to contribute you may become liable to do so if your maintenance is reassessed (on request). As above, your ability to contribute financially will not affect any parental rights (positively or negatively).
