The law says that a son does not have a legal right over the self-acquired property of his parents. However, he could claim his share if he can prove his contribution towards the acquisition of the property. Also, there is no chance for a son in receiving a share in the self-acquired property if his father has bequeathed his property to someone else, by means of a will, or a gift deed. He may be allowed to use the property on permission, but his parents are not under any obligation to allow him to live there. Moreover, a grandson does not have rights over the self-acquired property of his grandfather.
