Who are all entitled to her monies? and in what ratio? is there any law to this? The monies in the estate are her earned money and NO inheritance.
A.Dear client,
Property owned by Hindu women can be divided into three categories:
The first category includes property inherited from the woman's husband or father-in-law.
The second category includes property inherited from the woman's father or mother.
The third category includes all other property, including self-acquired property, that the woman has received, earned or gifted, and which does not fall under the previous two categories.
The basic rule for all types of property owned by a Hindu woman is that, in the case of her dying intestate, the property will devolve on her descendants, such as children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren and the husband.
If the woman is childless and dies intestate, the origin of her property will be determined.
If the property falls under the first category, meaning it was inherited from her husband or father-in-law, it will devolve upon her husband's heir.
If the property falls under the second category, meaning it was inherited from her father or mother, it will devolve upon her father's heir.
If the property falls under the third category, which includes self-acquired or gifted property, if the woman is a childless widow, it will devolve upon her husband's heir preferably.
Only in the absence of the last heir of the husband, the property will devolve upon the women's mother and father.
