Under the Hindu Succession Act, daughters have equal inheritance rights as sons, including ancestral property.

Sadly, she’s no longer with us. To transfer the property to my name for official records, do I need probate or is the registered will I have sufficient? My family and I are looking to buy a property in India. It’s owned by two brothers, one Indian and the other with dual Indian and US citizenship. He’s mentioned gifting his share to his brother before selling it to us to potentially avoid taxes. Is this a valid way to transfer ownership? Can a joint property be gifted like this? Should I proceed with buying this property? My family has a dispute over our ancestral home. I have all the necessary documents, including the family tree, which shows my uncle unfairly registered the house in his name without including my father. I want to file a case in the civil court, but I’m unsure if I can represent myself. Is there a process for doing so without hiring a lawyer? My family booked a flat in a BPTP project in Faridabad back in 2009, and we got possession in December 2015. We paid 20% of the price upfront, and they promised to help us get a loan for the rest. But the loan never came through. Now they’re charging us interest on the unpaid amount, even though they said in writing they wouldn’t. We’ve registered the flat, but now they refuse to return the penalty amount we paid. What can I do? We’re facing a tricky situation in our ancestral home. A man claims half the house is his. When we checked the city survey records, it listed him as “Sugam Mal, son of Gangabaksh”. However, he also claims to be the son of Sugam Mal, son of Gangabaksh, to justify his claim. We found another house he sold in the same neighborhood in 1978. The city survey for that house mentioned his father as “Sugam Mal, son of Rupnarayan.” It seems he’s trying to exploit two different fathers’ property.
