Re: Inherited Property
In case of intestate death of a Hindu male, his properties would devolve upon his Class I heirs. Class I heirs are mother, widow, sons, daughters, sons & daughters of predeceased sons & daughters.
Re: Inherited Property
Sir,
In case of the karta of a hindu family, after his death all the legal heirs (Class 1) becomes the qwner of the property in equal propotion.
The share of married Daughter is also equal.
For example if
there is a widow
A married Daughter
An unmarried Daughter
and 3 sons
then the total no. of class 1 heirs are 6.
Each will get 1/6th of the total property.
Further, for selling of the property all the legal heirs will have to sign on the sale deed along with the affidavit of declaration that the owner of the house is dead and they are there legal heirs and also the death certificate of the Owner needs to be annexed.
