As far as I know, step-children have no legal right to step-parents property unless the step-parent specifically bequeaths some property to the step-children in a will. The legal heir is firstly biological/ legally adopted children then spouse then biological or legally adopted siblings then the children of said siblings.
I do not understand how can V even assume his children have any right to Anuj’s or Kapadia’s property as Anupama’s children are legal adults and Anuj has not adopted them. I don’t think even Ankush as a cousin can even stake any claim to it. Barkha is delusional if she thinks Adhik has any right to Kapadia estate, gal you married into Kapadia family, Adhik is your brother not Ankush’s and Ankush is a cousin to Anuj not biological sibling. Even Ankush/Sara would come way down the legal heir order after Malvika and her future family. I am not sure even then, Ankush and Sara have any claim/ right to property as it is a business started by Anuj’s father as an independent business and not a family business where Anuj and Ankush parents had a stake as family property.
True i have known step siblings they do not adopt step father property even if its his own only their fathers and step father may leave some money in their name not property or businesses
Only anuj and Malvika and their kids should get busness and property
IF GK was married and had kids may be they could give GK kids some property or shares as hes their gaurdian as saying thank you for taking care of us
All others cannot inherit anything actually
Malvika can challenge in court that Shahs and ankush or his family should not get anything none will get as per law
Even anupama being transferred 100% is illegal can be challenged i know such cases where blind in love sons have given 100% to wives and siblings have challenged and won
Tata cannot give 100% tata and sons shares to his wife(if he had) or Bill gates to his wife
Shareholder will not agree neither does inheritance laws
I have never seen any human in USA or india give his business or family business 100% rights to his wife
They may give to sons or daughters not a wife or sibling actually
Because they want the business to be in blood line with family only
They may give shares percentage from their shares not complete rights
See you cannot divorce your parent or sibling or kids because they are blood relatives
You can divorce a wife or hubby actually its not a permanent relation like parents os kids or siblings no matter what fights they are family for life even after death
The problem starts when anuj will give shares to anupama whom will she write in her will only little anu and mukku after her death or she will give to toshu pakhi and samar
A good human will not be so disloyal will give to mukku and little anu 50% each as they are only anuj family
But anupama is emotional fool so she may just hand full kapadia empire to toshu pakhi and samar or vanraj
But will Malvika and her kids allow that
It will become like priyamvada birla case than
As far as i know law inherited business kapadia and sons go to blood relatives only (like ambanis, tata, birlas) it cannot go to Shahs and ankush kapdaias etc as their father did not create it
Ratan tata may have taken tata and sons to great heights but JRD tata started it so its family business Ratan tata has to give this blood relatives shares in equal nos(brothers and sisters if any and their kids) even if ratan tata brothers and sister never come to office or rare no effort. Of course Ratan tata is good human he will give all 1000% to his siblings in will for sure but same cannot be said of anupama devi. She may give to Shahs you see which Malvika will not like at all.
No matter who put effort(anuj here) it ggoes to Malvika her kids and anuj and his blood and adopted kids
