Inheritance of property (self acquired )by wife and children of a person dying without will.

If a person dyes without will, shall his children and wife get his self acquired property automatically?



Quick Summary
If an individual passes away without making a will (intestate), their self-acquired property will automatically be distributed among their legal heirs. This includes their wife and children. The law ensures that the property devolves to these rightful beneficiaries in the absence of specific instructions from the deceased.

What is your problem while posting an academic query?   If a person dies intestate, the property devolves among all the legal heirs of that person.

Seek proper guidance of your professor /tutor/ coach for such academic question paper(s).

Upon intestate death, succession opens and successors shall be entitled to their legitimate share as per their personal law.
