Asked in Property
- In 1956 , the Parliament of India enacted the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 to amend and codify the law relating to intestate or unwilled succession, among Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs. - Further , under this Hindu Succession Act, 1956 , only sons had a share in the ancestral property , but now a daughter whether married or unmarried is having equal share in the Ancestral property i.e. an equal share in such a property accrues by birth itself. - Further , the Supreme Court has recently said that a daughter's right to ancestral property does not arise if the father died before the amendment of Hindu law that came into force in 2005. - 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. - Hence, if father died before 2005 , then daughter will not get any share in the property , i.e if the daughter will not get share then the question of daughters daughter share does not arise. - If the sons son survive , then he will get the share of his father legally.
