Under the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 (applicable before 2004), your father would inherit the entire property as the sole son. Your sisters would not be entitled to any share as daughters were not considered legal heirs in intestate succession prior to 2004.

My father passed away recently. He had no children and nominated his close relative, who has been caring for him and my mentally ill mother, as his heir. We are currently living in a temporary home while our property is undergoing renovation by a private developer. The developer had been paying rent to my father since his property was demolished a year ago. My question is: will the rent payments now be transferred to the nominated heir since my father has passed away?

My father and uncle, along with their brother, ran a manufacturing business that unfortunately shut down due to losses. A former worker filed a case in the labour court, and due to financial difficulties, the family couldn’t fight the case, resulting in an ex parte order against them ten years ago. Even though all the summons were served, they were unable to respond. Now, the worker is seeking to attach and auction joint property owned by my father, uncle, sister, and mother. Since the liability is only on the partners, can their joint property be auctioned? If so, what can be done to prevent this auction?

My sister passed away last year without a will. She was married but had no children. She owned a 2BHK flat, gifted by our mother before her marriage, and a share in our ancestral property. Her husband is now claiming ownership of everything and wants to go to court. I understand that according to the Hindu Succession Act, the source of the property determines the rightful heir. Could you please tell me: 1. Does her husband have any claim to the property and gold? 2. How can I transfer ownership to my mother or myself?

My father has two daughters and three sons. I am the youngest son. He gifted our two-story family home to me, as he felt the other siblings were not deserving. The property transfer is registered. My father was mentally sound when he made this decision. My siblings are challenging the transfer, claiming he was mentally ill at the time. How can I prove his mental fitness during the transfer, knowing he was perfectly capable?

My grandfather, who passed away in 1972 without a will, had two sons and a daughter. My mother, born in 1945 and unfortunately passed away in 1987, was his daughter. Since the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 came into effect after my mother’s birth, how can I inherit my grandfather’s property?
