Can married daughter make claim over father's property along with her brothers?
According to the Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act 2005, you have the same right over your fathers property as your brothers. You have not mentioned whether the property is self-acquired or ancestral. In case of ancestral property, you have a right to it by virtue of birth and can make a claim over it. In case of self-acquired property, since your father died without a will, you will have an equal right to it as you are a class I heir along with your brothers and mother. Hence, you can file a petition in the court seeking a right to the said property.Since the properties were self-acquired, your father could have willed these to anyone he wanted and you would have had no right over these, unless you had a ground to contest the will. However, as your father died intestate, you, as a class I legal heir, can make a legal claim to the said properties.According to the Hindu Succession Act 1956, if a woman dies intestate, her self-acquired property is distributed as defined by Section 15. According to the order of preference mentioned under Section 15 (1), the property will go firstly to sons and daughters, including children of any pre-deceased son or daughter, and the husband. Since your father is no longer alive, you and your brother will have the fi rst right to your mothers property.Disclaimer: The responses are based on limited facts provided by the queries.
