How is ancestral property different from self acquired property?

429 votes

Your right to a share in your ancestral property is given to you by the mere fact of your being born. Your share in your ancestral property cannot be taken away. This is unlike other forms of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner of the property.For example, your father may exclude you from the inheritance of his self acquired property. However, he is barred from doing this as far as your share in ancestral property is concerned.
