Dear Sir / Madam,

A girl has a right to a share in her parents and her grandparents property alike. Property includes both, immoveable and moveable property. To the best of my knowledge, that has always remained the court's stance since independence of our country in 1947 - no change thereafter.

A will specifies how the property owned by the deceased has to be disbursed amongst all the surviving legal heirs after his / her demise.

Immoveable property is governed by the nomination made by the owner of the property in the absence of a Will. Jewellery is valued and equally apportioned to all the surviving legal heirs.

Regards,
