Common Questions From United Kingdom

United Kingdom, Asked & Answered

My UK divorce was finalised, is it valid in India?

A UK decree absolute is recognised in India under Section 13 CPC if it was on contested merits, the Indian respondent appeared or was duly served, and the decree did not violate Indian public policy. A "decree by default" where the Indian spouse never contested is more likely to be challenged in India. We can file a confirmatory or recognition petition where required, particularly before any remarriage in India.

Can I make a single will covering my UK and Indian assets?

Possible but not always optimal. Most cross-border families use two wills, one for UK-situs assets governed by English succession law (and HMRC tax exposure), and one for Indian-situs assets governed by the Indian Succession Act. Two coordinated wills also avoid forced re-grant of probate across jurisdictions. LawCrust drafts the Indian limb in coordination with your UK solicitor.

How do I claim my inheritance in India from the UK?

You apply for a succession certificate or letters of administration before the District Court of the deceased's last residence in India, accompanied by the death certificate, list of heirs, and proof of relationship, a process you can run via Power of Attorney without flying back. LawCrust files, prosecutes, and certifies the order, then handles bank-account release and FEMA-compliant repatriation.
