One person has a self acquired house. He has three children, two boys and one girl. A boy dies when he is unmarried, he does not have any wife, children etc. In such a situation only one girl and one boy live. How will the ownership rights of the said house/property be divided among the remaining two children (one son and one daughter) and who will get how much share in the house and please tell if there is any ruling in this regard.nThankyou

if the father is governed by Hindu law and dies intestate then both the child i.e. the boy and the girl will get equal share in the house vide section 6 of Hindu Succession Act 1956. For further legal assistance feel free to contact me.

on the above mentioned query the legal opinion is that if the owner of the property is alive then there is no question for filling partition suit. the owner has full rights to transfer the property to anyone.

but if the owner is dead so both the children have equal share in their deceased father's property.
