Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Legal heirs & succession

My father an Indian Christian gifted me a house before he died and is registered in my name. I have two living married sisters with children. In the event of my death, who will succeed my property? Also, as my house was not acquired by me but inherited from my father, can my two sisters legally object to my willing or gifting it to someone else outside the family?

You are the absolute owner of the house and your sisters may no claim in your property. You may execute a will or a gift deed as per your own wishes in favour of anyone you may like.
