1. On the intestate death of your friend's father, the property would devolve equally to his widow and his 3 children.

2. In other words, each person is entitled to 1/4th share in the property, I.e., 25 percent each.

3. After the death of their widowed mother, the property would devolve as follows:-

(a) If she had executed 'WILL' for her share in the property during her lifetime and after her death, the property would devolve to the beneficiary/beneficiaries in the ratio as specified in the WILL.

(b) In case she dies intestate (without executing WILL), then her share would devolve equally to all her children.

Widow has share along with daughters in ancestral property

Further widow can file suit for partition to claim her share in ancestral property

Even though it was an ancestral property, if your father acquired it through a partition among his siblings, then it becomes his own and absolute property.

The properties upon his intestate death shall devolve equally among his legal heirs consisting his widow also.

Thus for the present all the four legal heirs shall be entitled to 1/4th share in the properties.

In ancestral property do widow will have her share along with daughters.

If the daughters are entitled to a share, then the widow shall also be entitled to an equal share out of the properties left behind by the deceased.
