aparna (Querist) 29 March 2010 This query is : Resolved
dear sir/madam,

I m a divorcee and have two daughters who are in my custody. the elder is 2002 born and the younger is 2004 born. my father-in-law holds a property which has passed to him through his grandfather. the property is suitated at some place in Gujarat. can the daughters get a share in the property as it is an ancestral property?

Please let me know the provision under which i can claim the property. i think they get a right to share vide an amendment made in the hindu succession act, but m not sure.

Patil saheb, whether the son (divorcee's husband) is also entitled to share the ancestral property?

In the given quarry, not only daughters but both the daughters of predeceased son are fully entitled to inherit his share on the demise of your father in law.

Though you have interest in the properties now shown recorded in the name of your father in law but as soon as he expires, you and both your daughters shall inherit the full share of your predeceased husband in equal share.
