My father died on 19 January 2005 ,leaving wife two daughters and a son behind. I'm his youngest daughter 39 years old and still unmarried and live in my father's house with my mother and brother's family. Elder sister was already married and brother also got married in 2006. Now my brother says i dont have any rights on my fathers self aquried property as per supreme court ammendments. Mother is bedridden now. Please clarify this to me with your valuable suggestions. Thank you.

Section 6 of Hindu Succession Act,2005 however, declared a daughter of a coparcener in the Mitaksharara Joint family as Coparcener. She is now vested with all rights equal to son. You and your sister have share in fathers self acquired property.

Under the Hindu succession, a daughter can make a right claim in a coparcener property. Both the ancestral and self-acquired property can be a collective property. ... According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, a daughter is equally valid heir as a son's property.

Daughters’ Rights In Father’s Property When Father Dies Intestate

If the father dies intestate i.e., without a Will, all legal heirs get an equal right to the property. The property is divided among the Class I heirs first and includes the wife, daughters and sons, among others. A daughter has an equal part in the father’s property as the rest of Class I legal heirs. If the daughter is denied her share, a property partition suit can be filed with the help of a family law
