Scenario in Kerala: The deceased husband had the possessory right as per deed of 1965, whereas the surviving wife has jenmam right as per the same deed. The BT receipt is in the name of wife and others (there are 3 children). In this condition, how to partition the property.

Jenmam rights means life interest. She has rights over the property till her lifetime hence if she consents to relinquish her rights, it may be possible for dividing the property among all the shareholders/ legal heirs.

The rights over the land passed on from one generation to another and became a birthright. This kind of land came to be known as Janmam Land, and the people who owned it were known as Janmis. If the mother relinquishes her rights over the property, then her 3 children can partition the property by meats and bounds.

To my knowledge and understanding, Jenmam rights denote revenue rights than property rights. All those rights have since been abolished through Land Reform Act.
However, any meaningful suggestion requires that the concerned document(s) be perused and issues discussed.
