 A daughter was not a coparcener in joint hindu family property, but would inherit as a class I heir in her father's share after his death. But the amendment of 2005 to the HSA changed her status to that of a coparcener and a daughter would share equally along with the father and sons in the undivided JHF property. A daughter is now a coparcener by birth in her own right.

The position in respect of the self acquired property is same, a daughter is a class I heir along with wife, mother and son.

 Hi, I have a query on the Hindu succession act.


A lives in MAHARASHTRA.
A  has been living with his maternal Grandfather since his parents

expired in 1993.

The court had appointed A’s maternal Grandfather as his legal guardian.

As of today, A is 24 years of age.

A’s maternal grandfather expired in 2009 leaving behind following

heirs:

1) His Wife(A’s maternal Grandmother).

2) His son (A’s maternal uncle).He is married(in 1980s).

3) His first daughter(A’s maternal aunty).She is married(in 1980s).

4) His second daughter(A’s Mother). She expired in 1993.     

A’s maternal Grandfather has left behind following property

1) Movable assets : Savings and FD accounts.

2) Immovable assets : flats.

A’s maternal grandfather has not left any will(Intestate). So being the

son of a pre-deceased daughter(A’s mother in this case), is A eligible

for a share in the above said property of his maternal grand father as

per the Hindu Succession Act. If yes, what role will he play I mean

what would be his rights in this case.

i.e After the death of A's maternal grandfather who will come into

picture as the legal heirs(from the list mentioned above) and how will

be the property be divided among them. Will each of them have equal

share?

IMP NOTE: THis case is in Maharashtra state. So does Maharashtra have a

separate act for intestate succession or is it that the SC act will be

given the highest priority.

  Please clarify, this is very urgent. Thanks in advance.

1.My father has died before 2005?

2.I was born in 1953?

3.I was married around 1976?

Thanks much,
