Grand daughters rights in grand fathers property Grand daughters rights in grand fathers property

3 years ago

My Grandfather (GF) has self acquired properties from his maternal aunt. The settlement deed has wording like "putra-poutra". GF has 3 sons and 1 daughter i.e SON1, SON2, SON3 and DAU1 I am grand-daughter of GF and daughter of SON3. Both SON1 and SON2 have sons. Before GF death, GF left a will bequeathing his properties to sons only with SON1 being the executor. The will's geniuness has been chanllenged by DAU1 and has been pending for years. SON1 and SON2 are not cooperating with my father (SON3) and are not giving the details of the case. They have even delayed filing for probate. We suspect them to have malicious intentions to get the properties transferred to their sons( owing to putra poutra clauses ). My father (SON3) wants to ensure that his rightful share gets transfered to me. If he gets his share during his lifetime, he will transfer the property to me. But is worried if he doesnt get his share during his lifetime as he is a senior citizen My questions are 1. Assumming the case wins and my father SON3 is entitled to 1/3rd share. If my father ( SON3 ) dies before the case ends, will my fathers share be given to SON1 and SON2? or Will I get my fathers share ? 2. How can my father secure his share (whether 1/3rd or 1/4th) to me? Should a will or settlement deed or anything be done during his lifetime, so that in the event of his death (before acquiring his share) he can pass it down to me .

A.In the self acquired property the grand children have no right.
============================================
Section 8 in The Hindu Succession Act, 1956
8. General rules of succession in the case of males.—The property of a male Hindu dying intestate shall devolve according to the provisions of this Chapter—
(a) firstly, upon the heirs, being the relatives specified in class I of the Schedule;
(b) secondly, if there is no heir of class I, then upon the heirs, being the relatives specified in class II of the Schedule;
(c) thirdly, if there is no heir of any of the two classes, then upon the agnates of the deceased; and
(d) lastly, if there is no agnate, then upon the cognates of the deceased.

Class I heirs are sons, daughters, widows, mothers, sons of a pre-deceased son, widows of a pre-deceased son, son of a, pre-deceased sons of a predeceased son, and widows of a pre-deceased son of a predeceased son.

A.If your father dies (may this happen after many good long years), then his share shall go to you, not to his brothers. So no separate will or other document is needed. The "case" can be tracked easily by "partie's name". So track bothe the cases, probate case and the case filed by DAU1. Try to speed up the cases.
