https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311073 A bequest under a Will does not amount to a transfer of property because a Will operates only on the testator's death and creates no present right or interest during lifetime. A general status quo order over property restrains changes to existing conditions, but it does not, by itself, prohibit testamentary disposition unless it expressly forbids making a Will. Accordingly, a Will executed while such an order is in force is not void or non est merely on that ground. The note also states that the appellant was a necessary party entitled to continue the contest, and the order rejecting impleadment was set aside. en-us Tue, 13 Mar 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 06 Dec 2023 16:23:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=311073 A bequest under a Will does not amount to a transfer of property because a Will operates only on the testator's death and creates no present right or interest during lifetime.
