Hindu succession act 1956

Dear Mohit,

If property is inherited by a female from her brother, Section 15 (1) of the Act applies upon her dying intestate.

Here is Section 15 (1) for your reference :

15. General Rules of succession in the case of female Hindus :- (1) The property of a female Hindu dying intestate shall devolve according to the Rules set out in Section 16,_

(a) firstly, upon the sons and daughters (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter) and the husband;

(b) secondly, upon the heirs of the husband;

(c) thirdly, upon the mother and father;

(d) fourthly, upon the heirs of the father; and

(e) lastly, upon the heirs of the mother.

hi sridhar ji,

you  r right but what if she dies intestate and without issue????????

Dear Mohit,

In the absence of children or children of predeceased children, property of a woman inherited from her borther, will devolve upon her husband.

sridhar ji,

brother's property source is father, then why not it revert back to father's heirs?

source of property is consederable or not in court????

does an oral agreement among the coparceners of an HUF has some legal value or not ? for instance a person called Mr. A has 3 sons & 2 daughters. he bought a land in d name of his wife Mrs. B. His 2 elder sons built a house on that land employing their personal incomes. now after 29 years, Mr. A , Mrs. B ,their 2 sons & 1 daughter are deceased. no one left any will. but when all of them were alive, there was an oral agreement between the 3 sons & 2 daughters that the 2 daughters will never claim their share & only the sons will have the right on their father's property to which the remianing 1 son & 1 daughter testify. A claim has been made by the widower of the deceased daughter on behalf of her legal heirs for the partition of the house and claiming 1/5th share. now does the oral agreement cancels out their cliam ????
