Dear Mr.Kumar,

If the property belongs to the HUF, then daughters whether married before or after 94 have a birth right and can at any time seek a partition even during your lifetime.

If you want to somehow increase your son's share the best that you can do is to :-

a) Try and convince daughters to execute a registered relinquishment deed; or

b) To will away your share of the property to him so that the son has double the share, each daughter gets.

daughters whether married or single hav equal share in the property of their parents. you may will the property to your son but the will can be challenged in a court of law after your demise.
