MY MATERNAL GRAND FATHER WANTS TO GIFT ME A CERTAIN X AMOUNT. CURRENTLY HE IS HOLDING THE AMOUNT IN THE BANK FIXED DEPOSIT, WHICH STATES HIS NAME FIRST, SECOND MY NAME. HE HAS ALSO MADE A WILL THAT THESE AMOUNTS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO ME. IS THERE ANY THING WHICH CAN BE DONE TO SECURE THIS MORE FROM ANY FURTHER CLAIMING BY HIS OWN SON ?
HE HAS ALSO SIGNED LETTER STATING THIS THESE ALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS GIFTS FROM MY SIDE AND NO ONE HAS ANY CLAIM OR RIGHT ON THIS.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALSO MADE A GIFT DEED OF THE SAME TOO. BUT I FEEL THAT THIS IS CONTRARY, AS CURRENTLY THE AMOUNTS ARE NOT GIFTED, IT WILL BE AS PER THE WILL. SO DOES THE GIFT DEED STANDS VOID ? IS MAKING THE GIFT DEED ALSO WISE ?
MY QUESTION IS : IS THERE ANY MORE DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED RATHER THAN A WILL ?
IS THIS MUCH EVIDENCE ENOUGH IN MY FAVOUR TO GET THE DEPOSITS AFTER HIS DEMISE ?
