1 year ago
My father in law passed away .self acquired prop by him in his name .4 children including my husband ( 3 sisters).
To transfer prop in husb (sons name )
Wht docs r required ?
According to Hindu Succession Amendment Act 2005, married and unmarried daughters have the same rights on their father’s property as their brother. They are also entitled to equal duties and liabilities as their brother (your husband).
Recently, Supreme Court ruled that daughters have the right to inherit their parents’ self-acquired property and any other property of which they are absolute owners.
Documents required:
1. Will - In the presence of a Will, the process is relatively simpler; executors are required to administer the property as per the Will. But legal heirs (the sisters) can challenge the Will if it is contrary to law.
In case of absence of will, the most convenient situation that can arise is that the legal heirs mutually decide amongst themselves and distribute the shares accordingly, you may also need to prepare an affidavit along with a no-objection certificate from other legal heirs or their successors.
2. Property ownership document
3. Any substantial evidence to prove your husband and father in law's relationship.
When the father in law has passed away intestate meaning leaving no will behind then the remaining legal heirs have to follow the legal procedure to get the property in their names. For that you need to apply for succession certificate from the competent court and if other sisters are not willing to have their shares then they can execute a relinquishment agreement to extinguish their rights in the property.
A.Dear Sir,
Section 8 of Hindu Succession Act:
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;
CLASS I
Son; daughter; widow; mother; son of a pre-deceased son; daughter of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased daughter; widow of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; daughter of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; widow of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son.
Distribution of Property after Death – Hindu Male
For Hindus, testamentary succession (succession by way of Will) is as per the Indian Succession Act and intestate succession (succession without Will) is as per the Hindu Succession Act. In this article, we look in detail the process for distribution of property after death of a Hindu male as per the Hindu Succession Act.
Class 1 Heirs
The Hindu Succession Act groups the heirs of a male Hindu into four categories and lays down that his/her inheritable property devolves firstly upon the heirs specified in Class I which are as under:
• Sons
• Daughters
• Widow
• Mother
• Son of a pre-deceased son
• Daughter of a pre-deceased son
• Son of a pre-deceased daughter
• Daughter of a pre-deceased daughter
• Widow of a pre-deceased son
• Son of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son
• Daughter of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son
• Widow of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son
• Son of a predeceased daughter of a predeceased daughter
• Daughter of a deceased daughter of a predeceased daughter
• Daughter of a predeceased son of a predeceased daughter
• Daughter of a predeceased daughter of predeceased son
All these heirs inherit simultaneously and to the exclusion of other heirs. In the absence of any of the heirs in this category, the property devolves upon the enumerated heirs specified in class II.
Class 2 Heirs
The devolution in Class II heirs is made in the absence of any heir in Class I and in such a manner that heirs specified in a particular entry share equally. For this purpose if more than one heir is specified in a single entry, they share the property simultaneously and equally to the exclusion of those specified in subsequent entries. Class 2 heirs include:
• Father
• Sons daughter’s son
• Sons daughter’s daughter
• Brother
• Sister
• Daughters son’s son
• Daughters son’s daughter
• Daughters daughter’s son
• Daughters Daughter’s daughter
• Brothers son
• Sisters son
• Brothers daughter
• Sisters daughter
• Fathers father
• Fathers mother
• Fathers widow
• Brothers widow
• Fathers brother
• Fathers sister
• Mothers father
• Mothers mother
• Mothers brother
• Mothers sister
Agnates
In case a Hindu male passes away intestate and leaves no class 1 or class 2 heirs, then the property would devolve on agnates. A person is said to be an agnate of another if the two are related by blood or adoption wholly through males. Agnate relationship does not extend to relationship by marriage and is restricted to relationship by blood. Also, agnate does not include widows of lineal descendants of the intestate.
Cognates
If a Hindu male passes away without a Will and has no class 1 or class 2 heirs or agnates, then the succession would be through cognates. Cognates are ones who are related to the intestate by blood or adoption but not wholly, through males. Thus mother’s brother’s son and brother’s daughters son are cognates, eligible for heirship.
