My father passed away in 1992 without leaving a will for his self-acquired property. We have two brothers, five sisters, and myself, the youngest son. My mother passed away before him. Our eldest sister sadly passed away in 1978, leaving behind a son. She was later remarried to her brother-in-law. A legal case was filed in 1999. I’m wondering, considering the recent Supreme Court rulings on a daughter’s inheritance rights, is her son eligible to inherit a share of the property? We’ve been paying property tax in my father’s name.

Since your father died intestate in 1992, his property will be divided according to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. As your eldest sister passed away before your father, her son is entitled to inherit her share of the property. Paying property tax in your father’s name doesn’t affect inheritance rights.
