My forefather made a will in year 1890, that his legal heirs shall become trustee of his estate.Now one of my married sister wants to be trustee. I have refused her on the ground that in 1890 when the will was made female was not treated as legal heirs at that time.
It was only year 1956,from when females were given some right.

AM I RIGHT ?

14 December 2014 fact is the time when the will get probated that will the yearapplicable. so your presumption i s not correct sir!

14 December 2014 if at the time will was done, may be your proposition is right probably, as all laws become mostly active prospectively unless the very Act intended per legislature was retrospective.
