Property: Property disputes are common in families, whether they are among the brothers, between father and children, or with daughters. Especially there is confusion about daughters. However, under the Hindu Succession Act 2005, he has now got equal rights to sons in his father’s property. But this right is subject to certain conditions, which are very important to understand.
No right on these property
If the father has bought property from his hard -earned money, he will be completely considered to be him. In such a situation, if he wants, he can sell it, gift someone or name someone in a will. In this type of property, the daughter does not get any legal rights unless the father includes her in her will.
Partition before 2005
If the legal and registered distribution of ancestral property has been done before 2005, the daughter cannot claim it. The Supreme Court has also accepted such former partners as valid. But if the partition is unevenly, it can be challenged in court.
Property in gift
If the grandfather or father has gifted the property to someone and that gift deed is legally valid, the daughter cannot assert her. Such a gift is safe under the law.
Reputation of rights
Many times, daughters leave their rights in writing from their parts, instead of money or other benefits. By doing this, they are deprived of that property. But if this consent is taken under pressure, fraud or confusion, then she can challenge it in court.
Put out of a will
If the father has clearly deprived the daughter in a will, she will not get her share. The will is given priority in the law. However, if the will is made under deception or pressure, the daughter can also challenge it in court.
Asset in confidence
If a property is handed over to a trust or legally transferred to someone else, the daughter will not get the right in it. The assets of the trust are protected by the law. The Hindu Succession Act has empowered daughters to equalize property, but these rights also have some limitations and limits. It is better to seek legal advice and to clearly know about rights before the dispute comes in the family.
