your child is always having rights over the property, and you are having rights till you get divorce after divorce you have no rights in  your husband's property.

Dear Querist, 

Your propreitary rights are only with respect to property acquired by you people after marriage - i.e the property that is jointly owned by you - for eg : Joint Lockers, Flat in Joint Name etc - you wont be entitled to his seperate/ancestral property. 

With respect to the daughter - she is entitled to both ancestral as well as seperate property of her father - and can lawfully claim a share.

You do not have right in ancestral property. You have right in the property acquired by your husband. Your dauhter has right in ancestral property as well as in the property acquired by your husband.

Sincerely,

 you  are entitled  to  a share in the property  left by your  husband  equal to  a  share  of your  daughter  irrespective  of  the  property   in the hands of your late husband is  self acquaired  or   ancestral . at  the  moment your  huband  died you  inherited  his property  as a  widow and the  propery  is  vested in you   your  subsequant  remarriage  does not  make  any  change  IE  you  are not  divested  of  the  property  which  is  already  vested in you   after the  death of  your  husband
