Can daughter claim a share in the father's inherited property


16-Jan-2023 (In Civil Law)
My father has died in 2016 without any registered partition deed . He has inherited a plot of land from his father. After his death , we are two brothers and one sister and mother as successors. Brothers are denying to give share to me as a sister. I have a query. 1) If my mother dies without will ,and if the property remains in the name of father only till her death .In that case , whether it will be transferred between three children ? ( 2 sons and 1 daughter) . or 2) even if her share in the plot of land is not transferred to her name till her death and if she makes a will before her death in that case how it is effected. Please reply

Dear Madam,
And. of your first query, :- Children's including daughter have equal share in the property of father even it is ancestral or selfaqured.
And is, in the case of Will, if you want make a will, you must be have a property in your own name if not then Will is null void.

More particularly it is depends on facts and nature of the property.

Thanks..!!

Greetings. Daughter is eligible for equal share in the fathers property whether inherited or self acquired. as you said your father died intestate in 2016, you are eligible for share in all assets and properties and your brother cannot deny your share. Give application/objection to concerned Talathi Office stating to add your name in 7x12 extract of the said property.thanks
