This query is : Resolved
In one of the answers to a query your expert has opined that ancestral property is shared between the father and son equally as coparcenors even when there is a daughter. Would the situation change in a state like Maharashtra where daughters are also given equal shares like sons as per my understanding?

The cited opinion of expert is wrong. Daughters are also equally entitled to inherit the ancestral properties like Maharashtra all over in India after amendment in the act effective from 2005.

I agree with Mr. Makkad. Daughter of Hindu male died without will are class-I legal heirs as such she has equal share with other legal heirs..

Please submit the query elaborately. Perticularly whether it is comming under the pre-ammendment or post-ammendment period of the Hindu succession Act.
