Ancestral Property Rights: How to Claim Your Share Amidst Family Opposition
- •Property disputes are common in India, often straining family relationships due to greed for money and land.
- •Ancestral property, inherited up to four generations, grants heirs rights by birth, including both sons and daughters.
- •The 2005 amendment to the Hindu Succession Act ensures daughters have equal rights as sons in ancestral property.
- •If denied a share, a legal notice can be sent, followed by filing a property partition suit in a civil court.
- •An injunction (stay order) can be sought from the court to prevent property sale during a dispute, and buyers can be made parties if property is sold without consent.
Why It Matters: Understand your ancestral property rights and use legal avenues to claim your rightful share if opposed by family.
