Reading: My mother passed away. I am her daughter from her first marriage, but my stepfather never accepted me. I lived with my grandparents, who supported my education until I completed 10th grade. My mother only helped me with education. My name wasn’t included in my parents’ property documents. My siblings received everything I didn’t. My stepfather has no property in Mumbai or Bhopal. Can I claim a share of my mother’s property?

As a legal heir, you are entitled to a share of your mother’s property even if your name was not included in the property documents. However, your right to a share may be contested by your siblings, and the court will consider factors like your mother’s financial contributions towards your education and your stepfather’s lack of property. You should consult a lawyer to understand your legal rights and options for claiming your rightful share.
