One of my family member murdered recently.  The couple does not have childred and have three elder brokers and three elder sisters with their families. Both wife and husband died in a span of less than a year. They have fixed assets like newly constructed house in the name of wife and a land in the name of husband gifted by his elder broker who unmarred and died. He is ex-service man and a bank employee sheculed for retire on 10th October 2012. Both husband and wife closely associated with their co-brother and sister (wife's sister) right from 1993 and they are look after their well being and even organized hindu rituals after their death.Their properties are:

1) newly constructed house

2) land gived by his broker

3) agriculture land alloted by MRO after retirement from defence.

4) house patta land alloted by MRO wherein co-brother's daughter figured as daughter.

Since he was murdered and no registered or unregistered will has been executed. Leaving the item no.4, how other assets from 1-3 are devolved to the family members. My question is how hindu succession act reads?

Since right from the begining co-broker and his wife care tackers to the couple, whether they can have full rights over the properties even though will has not been registered and written?. In some of the liquid assets like KVPs AND bank locker co-broker's wife has been notated and recently she has been joined as a joint holder to the locker. After his death, she became the sole locker holder.

Otherwise other family members of his family 3 brothers and 3 systers are equally devolved to the properties

Any one can plese consider this case and reply your suitable comments

thanks and regards
