I live overseas and my family in India (parents, grandmother, brother, his wife, and their daughter) rely on my grandfather’s HUF for their living expenses. I recently bought a house and asked my father for a loan, but he declined. If I seek a partition of my grandfather’s HUF, will I still be entitled to a share of my father’s HUF in the future? Or can he bequeath his entire share to my older brother?

Under Indian law, you have a right to a share in your grandfather’s HUF property. However, partitioning the HUF will not affect your future entitlement to your father’s HUF share. Your father can bequeath his entire share to your brother, but this would be subject to challenge by you as a legal heir under the Hindu Succession Act.

Previous Article My family has been farming this land for over 60 years, passed down from our forefathers. We don’t have any official papers since it was received from the zamindars. However, our uncles are now claiming ownership with documents. We do have a letter from the zamindar acknowledging our family’s tax payments back then, and we also have tax receipts, though they are in my uncle’s father’s name. What can I do to protect our family’s rights to this land? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
