Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
Daughter's right to deceased father's agricultural land
Hello,
I am emailing for my mother. My maternal grand father passed away a few years ago and did not have any will transferring any part of property to family.
My maternal grand mother, by god's grace, is hale and hearty, and continues to live in a part of their multi storey home in Delhi. My mother has 3 brothers. In all, 4 siblings.
My grand father has agricultural land, which is also not in anyone's name after him. My grand mother has released this land from her name to the name of her children.
My question is: -
1. Does my mother have any rights to the agricultural land of her father's after his demise? Or, by law it is only the sons who inherit agricultural land?
2. How much right does my mother, by law, have to her father�s house which he built on his own?
Thank you!
