A.Dear Client,
If your father inherited the property, the rules of succession would dictate how it is to be distributed among his legal heirs. These laws can vary based on religion and personal laws. The Hindu Succession Act was amended in 2005 to grant daughters equal rights in ancestral property. Daughters have a legal right to inherit ancestral property on an equal basis with sons. However, keep in mind that the exact nature of the property and its status in 1991 would be relevant in determining the daughter's rights.
