As per your query it is understood that you need information regarding the inheritance law.

Inheritance is a convention of passing or rather transferring properties, titles, debts, rights, and obligations to the legal heir of a person upon his/her death. It can be done by either a will or through laws of succession. The regulation of inheritance differs among religions, societies, and communities.

It is essential to identify a legal heir for every person owning property; they are the successors for property claims and insurance coverage.

 

Laws regarding inheritance

The Hindu Succession Act, 1956/ 2005

It is applicable on Hindus which is also applicable to Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists for succession without a will

The Indian Succession Act, 1925

It is applicable for the transfer of property by Hindus through a will. Under this act, any individual is able to legally transfer his property to any other individual by getting a will drafted.

These acts are applicable to whole of India.

Hope it helps!

 

Regards,
