Dear All,
I humbly request you kindly quote your valuable suggestions on the following matter.
My Brother (hindu male) died intestate in 2004. He leaves behind widow, 2 minor daughters and mother. My father executed a registered will about 24 years back as per the will of my father my brother and myself got each 4 acreas of land. My elder mother has registered settlement deed in favour of my brother ,through that settlement deed my brother got another 3 acreas of land.
what are the rights of the mother,widow and the 2 daughters on the properties of the deceased. Plz coment on this with recent judgements.

if there is settlement deed in favour of your deceased brother exeucted by your mother and if it is regd., he was the absolute owner, now legal heirs of your brother i., wife, and 2 minor daughters will inherit the property of your deceased brother.
If it is unregd., then your mother will also get share along with wife and minor daughers.
