Query

1. When sec. 24,25, 26 & 27 of Hindu Succession Act deal with disqualification of legal heirs, then under which law a mere public notice in a newspaper to disown a legal heir is permitted?   

2. What is the legal sanctity of public notice to disown a legal heir?

@Querist,

 

The notice of disowning son by getting it published in a newspaper is not binding under any law. Such notices are only for the purpose of bringing the fact before the public that there exist no relationship beween a son/daughter and a father/mother.Such notice is desirable as an evidence at a latter stage when dispute arises thereof between relations.

 

A son/daugher can be disowned  by their parents and thereby making such son or daughter disable to inherit their self-acquired property.But this rule of disowning does not apply to cases where matter is of a property acquired by ancestors.

 

Son/daughter=son or daugher who attended the age of majority.

Thanks,
