Father has died recently leaving behind one married son and two daughters whose marriage he did not do. Will daughters get equal share in agricultural land located in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. There is also a house in Ballia in his name. How to go about it.
While Hidu succession Act 2005 grants gender equality, State Law is same old of 1950. Please treat this as urgent.

Father should be Alive On Sep 9 2005 when the Amendment was made In Hindu succession Act 1956 for Equal Share/Rights in Property for Daughters.In your Case since your Father had Demised Recently as Per your Statements The Son and Two Daughters Carry Equal Rights in the Properties of their Father Irrespective of Agriculture Land Or House.

In UP agriculture land is subject to UP Land and Zamindari Abolition Act.
Some amendments were reported as being discussed but there is no confirmation if these are notified.
You can download the Act, publication of previous amendment, and a discussion on Gender based equality............from an old and illustrated thread;
