Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India
Female rights on succession/inheritance
We are hindu's by birth. We are 2 sisters and 1 brother.
My husband is a christian.
My father has 2 properties.
house(inherited from my Grand father, worth 1.5 crores)
site(self acquired from saving, worth 1 crore). My father plans to give the house to our brother, and then give the site to the 2 sisters.
Brother: 1.5 crore
Sister1: 50 lakhs
Sister2: 50 lakhs.
Should all of us get an equal share in the property?i.e. 250/3= 83 lakhs each? Please suggest.
