Hi, I am not a legal person, so will ask in lay man terms. Any help will be grateful.
1. My father died in 2004. My mother passed away in 1996. We are 3 daughters only, no sons.
2. My father divided some property before he died, and some more left. There is no will.
3. Now the remaining property is in court, and needs to be divided. Judgement has not been passed yet.
4. The third daughter claims that due to 1955 HAS act, since she is the last daughter and has been married after 1985, she will be considered legal heir and major share of property will be hers. Is this true incase there are no sons? or only in case where there are sons present? Will this apply in our case (other 2 daughters married before 1985).
5. Also, now the 2005 HAS act has ruled that daughters will get equal share. But my father died in 2004, will the 2005 act apply to us? and do we have right to equal share?
6. Please help us as we are confused and different lawyers say different things.
THanks in advance.
