Legal rights of adopted child on father's ancestral property
23-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
I am 30+ year old female ,currently leaving in Bangalore along with my Husband. My biological father is 3 brothers. My biological father is youngest of them. I am adopted by elder brother of my biological father.My adopted father has no other child. I want to know do i have any legal claim on my adopted father's ancestral property ? (like farms,lands etc. that originally my grand father ).
Has your adoption been done legally, which means was the same done on papers and you have used your adoptive father's name everywhere as your father? In case the legal formalities have been complied with, then you definitely have a right to your share in the properties owned by him.

Dear madam,
As per amended Hindu law of succession ,rights of married daughters had become at par with sons .
so you had rights regarding the properties ,as far other issues related to adoption and your rights in the property of adopted father is concerned it will govern under law of succession in this legal formalities of adoption is also to be taken in consideration .

Yes you have but only if the Succession in your family opened in 2005 or afterward. This is so because females were given coparcenary right under the Hindu Succession Act only in 2005. To determine the aspect as to when did the Succession opened your family, you'll have to indicate the year when your grandfather died.
