My dad owns a property, most of it acquired through his own hard work. A small portion was gifted to him by his father. Can I legally claim a share in his property? If yes, what steps should I take?

In India, you have no automatic right to inherit your father’s property. He can bequeath his property as he wishes in a valid Will. To claim a share, you’d need to be named as a beneficiary in the Will, or if he dies intestate (without a Will), you’d inherit according to the Hindu Succession Act or applicable personal law.
