daughter property rights to grandfather acquired property
07-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
I wanted to understand new amendment to ancestral property rights (Hindu), that happened in 2015 where my father died before 2005, do they have equal rights in ancestral property? My father was the only son of my grandfather and on my paternal grandfather demise, my father inherited it. My Father expired in 1992(without leaving the will) survived by wife, 3 daughter and 2 sons. All the three daughters were born before 1956. The property- which is home for us and my brother's family, restricting from repairing the home and demands partitions. Daughters are claiming property rights and threatening us for reconstruction of the dilapidated home.
After 1955, the Hindu succession act gives equal rights to women to inheritate their father's property. So daughters who were born before 1956 are also entitled to the property in equal shares and have a say in the property.
