My grandfather, a police officer, owned ancestral farmland in Karnataka. He had two children – my deceased mother and my uncle. My mother was born after 1956 and passed away in 2000, before the 2005 Hindu Succession Act. Some legal sources suggest I’m not entitled to his property. However, another legal provision, Section 6 (3) of the 2005 amendment, states that since my grandfather died after the 2005 Act, I could be eligible as a coparcener. Could you clarify my inheritance rights in this situation?

Based on Section 6 (3) of the 2005 Hindu Succession Amendment Act, since your grandfather died after the Act came into force, you are eligible as a coparcener to inherit the ancestral property in Karnataka. However, as your mother passed away before the Act, her share would likely pass to your uncle. You would be entitled to a share in the property alongside your uncle, as your grandfather’s coparcener.
