Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a daughter has coparcenary rights under the Hindu Succession Act 2005 if her father died before 1956. The key point is that succession opened in 1956, before the 2005 amendment, meaning the daughter likely does not have coparcener status. The amendment aimed to grant equal rights in ancestral and self-acquired property, but its application depends on when succession occurred.

No. She does not have the status as coparcener as the succession had taken place in 1956.

The Hindu Inheritance Act of 1956 was amended in 2005 by the Central Government to amend the law to treat all as shareholders in ancestral property and self-acquired property of parents Provide full details on whether the law applies to the inheritance law of all the states in the country and whether section 13 of the Hindu Inheritance Act introduced by the State of Andhra Pradesh in 1986 also applies to this Act.
