Re: ancestral property inheritance law

Dear Mr.Hemu,

Property recieved from paternal ancestor by way of inheritance is undoubtedly ancestral property in the hands of a person and is shared with the children in equal measures.  Now since they share equally in the very lifetime of a person - the father's competency to oust any or all of them from property is not there anymore. However having said that, if a person acquires such property via gift/will from his father - it is his absolute/seperate/obstructed property and he is free to deal with it as he likes in his life time/by will. 

(C.A.Arunachana Mudaliar v. Murugnatha Mudaliar - Supreme Court)

Feel free to talk!

Tank you sir for your reply! ... but I just wanted to clarify , after I pass away, can the child who got a lesser share sue the other child for an equal share inspite of my will

Hi,

If property inherited thru Maternal side ( from Mothers mother, who has passed away), how it will be shared between the 2 sons & 3 daughters of mother during her life time or after her demise. Whether all 5 will get equal share or mother can give to sons alone during life time or thru a will.

Tks

Hi,

person passes away in 1980, however he has about 4 acres of land but there is no will and has only a daughter .... ideally this property should get inherrited by her isnt it.

Situation is her son ( grand son ) has inerrited the property now indicating that both his grandfather and month have passed away .... and I dont think there was a will for this ! he has prepared an affidevit indicating that his grand father and Mother have passed away and hence he is inherriting the property, then he then transfers the land to her wife. Family tree which has been endorsed via affidevit indicates that Grandfather had only one child ( daugher ), and now after 30 years grand son has inherrited it.

Question is : 1) is the above a valid inherritance ? can a grand son inherrit the property after 30 years of Grandfathers death ?

2) There are no indication of the property getting transferred to Grandfathers daughter, it has been inherrited by grand son directly and this person does not seem to have any sisters or brothers 

3) This grand son has 3 children all are minors, so What will happen if this grandson sells the property to somebody ? can these minor children sue the purchaser after 10 - 15 years on the grounds of Ansisteral property ?

Appreciate your response.

Thanks
