My share in ancestral property

Mam,

 

Sorry since your father died before 2005 Amandemnt Act and the property you were talking about is the ansectral property as the same was bought by your grandfather, I think you don't have a right as per law, but if your other family members give you with their sole discreation then you can have the right on the property.

 

Warm Regards

Your grandfather s property if is self made does not fall in the category of ancestral property.....it would be considered your grandfather s separate property.....nd would devolve on first your father nd uncle equally I.e. - one half each....your father's share would then equally be divided amongst you and your siblings..... Regards Anuj

Mam, you have full rights in that property.u can get 1/6 portions

I endorse view expressed by Adv.Kapil.

Dear Kapil ji, Mahendiran ji, Anuj Ji and Raghavan ji,

I am thankful for this advice, and your valuable time. They are however indicating opposite things and I am getting confused. Sorry for troubling you again.

My brother told me that since my grandfather died on 20 Aug, 2005 and there is some Supreme Court amendment effective from 9 Sep,2005 thus I have no share in this undivided property.

The rule I am told was that there is some amendment in the Succession Act for Hindus, and so for me to have a share, my grandfather has to be alive on 9th Sep, 2005, and this applies to land, shop, bank balance and locker etc.

Regards,

Karun

The supreme court ruling is not applicable to this situation.

This was your late grandfather's self acquired property.

It devolved equally on his legal heirs consisting two sons upon his death.

Out of his two sons, one is your deceased father.

Your father was entitled to half share in the property however he died intestate.

Therefore your father's share in the property shall devolve equally on all his own legal heirs.

That way you are entitled to a share out of your father's share.

Therefore you can sign as a share holder to sell your share of property in it in the joint selling.
