https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291035 A widow in occupation of her deceased husband's dwelling house cannot resist delivery of possession to an execution purchaser where the underlying debt was binding on the husband and his estate. Her right of maintenance, including residence, is not an independent charge during the husband's lifetime, and if she takes the estate as heir she must first satisfy his binding debts. Authorities on joint family property were distinguished because a widow's residence right may survive only where the debt is not binding on her interest or is not for family benefit. The purchaser therefore acquires the property free from her claim to remain in occupation. en-us Tue, 22 Apr 1902 00:00:00 +0521 Tue, 27 Oct 2020 12:13:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=291035 A widow in occupation of her deceased husband's dwelling house cannot resist delivery of possession to an execution purchaser where the underlying debt was binding on the husband and his estate.
