Do daughters have a share in ancestral property?
06-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)
I have one plot that’s ancestral properly and my father died on 1984 and now my sister are asking for equal shares...as they have share or not
can only hold a right to the ancestral property if the father has died after this amendment came into force in 2005, the Supreme Court rules. In other words, the father would have to be alive till September 9, 2005, for the daughter to become a co-sharer of his property along with her male siblings.

Daughters cannot inherit ancestral property if father died before 2005.
In 2005, the Supreme Court had passed a landmark amendment to The Hindu Succession Act of 1956, granting daughters the right to inherit ancestral property along with their male relatives. But now, a 'small' clause has been added to it.
