Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies inheritance rights for a deceased father's assets, particularly for his wife and daughter. It explains that under Hindu law, the wife and children are typically entitled to equal shares of intestate property. However, it highlights that retirement benefits like gratuity, PF, and pension are usually governed by nomination, which overrides equal shares and goes to the nominated individual.

She has a right with the other legal heirs.

Agreed she has an equal share with other legal representatives of deceased, whereas, your statement vis-a-vis query is not clear

If a Hindu male dies intestate, his wife and all children are all are entitled to an equal share. This is not applicable to retirement benefits Gratuity/Encashment of Leave/ Commutation/ PF/Pension etc., as there is nomination which is considered to be the will of the deceased in settlement of his self earned property. The nominee gets full rights on such nominated assets self-acquired by employees.
