dear querist,

if the kartha had self acquired property and he died intestate mean without leaving any will of him,the property will equally divide among all his sons and daughters .there is no question of who is earning well or who is not.

Dear Querist,

Major changes have been made by ammending The Hindu Succession(Ammendment) Act,2005 with effect from 9th september 2005.
AND IN MY OPINION AFTER 9TH SEPTEMBER 2005, your sister is also entitled to demand there equal share of the H.U.F property provided that if the joint family property has not partitioned before 9th september 2005.
