Hi all,
My question today is to inquire about Joint Property Rights of Survivorship. If a property is owned by two co-owners (property deed has two owners listed), and one of the co-owners passes without leaving any will, is unmarried and a woman is their a right of surivorship in which the co-owner inherits the rest of the property or does the deceased's property share get dived in accordance with the Hindu Succession Act?
Any responses will be gladly appreciated.

On intestate death of one of the co-owners of the property, the property f the deceased will devolve upon the surviving legal heirs/legal representatives of the deceased, and such heir will become owner of the share of the deceased co-owner's share in the undivided property.
