Hindu Succession Act

Sir,
 
Is it true,  a father is allowed to write his self aquired property to his son alone. Then what about unmarried and married daughter's position as per Hindu succession act.Do they have any share on father's self aquired property ? Please clarify my doubt.. Request..

It is wrong to state that the Hindu male can write the self acquired property to his son alone ignoring his daughter. A Hindu male can effect transfer of his self acquired property even to any third person during his life time. He can transfer the property to his daughter ignoring his son too. His son does not have any right to claim over the property during the life time of the father. In case the Hindu male dies intestate then his widow, sons and daughters all have equal share in the property.

Sri Prakash,

Thanks for clarifying my doubt. I have still small doubt about Self aquired propery and Ancestral propery, since the amendment on Succession Act  taken place during year 2005  favouring daughters to equal share with sons. Changes applicable to all states sir,......

 Sorry to trouble you little bit..
