Can daughter claim the Fathers self earned Property

daughter can not claim any right or share in the self acquired property of father it having been out of his own funds. he can dispose it of or settle in the manner he likes. had it been a an ancestral property would have been a different case. In this case he is free to give it away to sons and they are the absolute owners.
 

Thanks Mr Darshan Panchal

I have some more doubts. We are in Tamil Nadu. Is above said applicable in all states.? Can I have written evidence (i.e. Act or Rule no. from any book). If possible pls. provide it.

Because I have similar problem vice versa in my case. My father says that rule in tamil nadu tells that women have EQUAL RIGHTS in father's property. So he is willing but hesitating to write his property to his only son and settling some amount for daughter. Because daughter may claim in future. He is asking tamil nadu govt. act and rule number for settling the property to their children.

If possible pls. provide it.

thanks

A self-acquired property can be disposed off by its owner in any manner he deems fit and proper during his/her life time.  These questions of claims arise only after the demise of the owner especially when the owner dies intestate otherwise neither daughter nor son can claim his/her share in a self-acquired or self-earned property of their father during their life time.

I believe what Vijay  Monga says is accurate. I am not a lawer to quote any section of different acts.

However, I can recoment this book for you. It gives all the Land acts in Tamil Nadu since 1800s.

This book is $96. and will answer to question.

I am not an attorney nor what I offer here is legal. You approach an attorney for your final decision.

basic fact is that if the property is self acquired by the father

the daughter cannot claim share

1. during the lifetime of father in any case.

1. if the father dies and there is a will & in which she has been expressly barred.

can cliam share

1. if the father dies and there is ni document of inheritance.

Dear all,

while i agree with the view of Mr. Vikas bakshi i would like to add one more point that it is not necessary// need not. be mentioned..  that she has to be barred expressly,  in other words if the WILL fixes the persons to whom the property will be passed on, will have the right over it and it is need not be the sons and may be any one else also.(since it is a self earned) this is any where in India. including the state of Tamil Nadu.

YES I AGREE WITH ALL THE LEGAL ADVICE GIVEN BY MY FRIENDS

Hello Sir/Madam,

My great grandfather (Maternal Side) formed a public ltd company in 1939 related to mining. He had 3 sons and a daughter. His daughter got married in 1936, 3 years before the company was formed. My great grandfather was the M.D of the company having a share holding of 51 % .He expired in 1970  and his Sons handled the company for 4 decades of business after his death. However,  in his "Will" there's nothing mentioned about the company, he mentioned about the lands and other ancestral property. My grandmother expired in 1998 leaving behind 4 sons and a daughter as her legal heirs.

Question:

Being a daughter, does my grandmother or her legal heirs/successor hold the capacity to claim the share in the company/ maternal uncles. Can a civil/ corporate suit be filed by her legal heirs or successors? Please help.
