Can an Indian Hindu husband who has two wives, after the death of the husband, both the wives on the same day give away the property in his name to another person through separate wills? Whether the will so modified is valid or not.
Dear Sir, The wife/s do not get entire property of husband for herself unless they are not having children. To the extent of share of respective wives can be bequeathed through individual Wills and not entire property of the deceased.
Dear Client, When a male Hindu dies intestate means without writing a Deed of will, then his property is distributed to his legal heirs according to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. If he wrote a Deed of will then beneficiaries are only authorized persons. Both the wives on the same day cannot give away the property in his name to another person through separate wills. Both the wives have no right to modify the will.

No, unless and until WILL is not probated till then beneficiaries under the WILL cannot transfer their properties received under the WILL. If properties are within Union territories then no probate in respect of WILL is required. Though as per law only first marriage is valid and second marriage during existence of first marriage is void and illegal but being void second marriage does not create any embargo nor it deny so called second wife to be beneficiary under the WILL. .
