Hello sir
We are from Maharashtra state as we need your exoert legal advice. One of our relatives, their parents died, and left immovable properties behind. They left behind 3 sons and 2 daughters. All are married.
The deceaseds left behind 2 shops, 2 houses, and 2 open plots . And a big bungalow where the deceased 3 sons are staying. Except bungalow rest of the immovable properties were sold, but the 2 married daughters of the defeased were still not paid their shares.
in view of the above, would you please advise your legal views on how much shares and exCt cash amounts in percentage all the heirs will receive, i.e., 3 sons and 2 sisters.
thank you in advance for your valuable legal views.
kind regards
There is no concept called ancestral property under Muslim personal law.
The estate left behind by the deceased is distributed to heirs in a specific order, with the spouse receiving a fixed share first. The remaining estate is then distributed to other heirs
However, the quantum of share of female heir is half of that of the male heirs, i.e., Sons usually inherit twice as much as their sisters when one of their parents dies.
