Agricultural Property Issue

Dear client, The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 was amended in 2005 making the daughter as coparcener in the joint family, having the same rights as those of a son. So all the daughters who were alive on 9th September 2005 would be entitled to a share in the joint property. The amendment also provided an exception to this and stated that any disposition of the family property or partition by a registered partition deed or under court order, made before 20-12-2004, will not be disturbed. Since the partition of your father’s ancestral land was done through a registered partition deed. Therefore they will have no right over the property.
