Hindu Daughters' right to prop acquired by Grand Father

567 votes

Yes, as per Hindu Succession Act, if the property was purchased by your grandfather and remained undivided after his and your father's death, then as Class I heirs, daughters (including granddaughters, if their parent is deceased) may claim a share, provided the succession hasn't been settled. If any granddaughter's parent (son/daughter of the grandfather) is deceased, the legal heirs (including that granddaughter and her children) may be entitled to a share by representation. It's advisable to initiate partition proceedings to claim the rightful share. for further discussion kindly contact me

If a granddaughter had a valid and inheritable share in the property, and she dies intestate (without a will), then her children would inherit her share as per the rules of succession. If your father had a share in the property (as legal heir of your grandfather), then you, as his daughter, could claim a right to his share (subject to conditions below).

Given that the property was your grandfather's and remained undivided until now, and your father passed away in 1946 (before the significant amendments to Hindu Succession Act), your rights as granddaughters would typically arise through your father's share. Since your father would have been a Class I heir at the time of your grandfather's death, he would have had a right in the property. Now, as your father is deceased, you, as his legal heirs (daughters), would generally step into his shoes and have a right to his share in your grandfather's property. Rights of Children of a Deceased Granddaughter: If a granddaughter dies, her children (your grandnieces/nephews) would typically inherit their mother's share in the property. They would essentially be representing their deceased mother in the line of inheritance. In a nutshell: Yes, as granddaughters of the person who purchased the property and whose son (your father) has passed away, you generally have a right to a share in this undivided property. If any of you granddaughters have passed away, her children would typically inherit her share. To get a precise understanding of your rights and the exact shares, it's essential to consider the specific details of your family tree, the nature of the property etc.

Yes. All are the legal heirs of the grand father including the children of the deceased grand daughter. If the grand daughter dies, then her share shall be inherited by her children. If the grand daughter is alive then she is entitled to inherit her share
