A. Daughters are entitled to claim share over the Joint Family Property and ancestral property. By virtue of the amendment of the Hindu succession act, 2005, by birth daughters would be considered as coparcaners.

B. Additionally, Daughters would be entitled to inherit the property of father's and mother's self acquired property after demised the same in the absence of a will.

C. Stepdaughters would not claim a share over the step father's property.

1. There is no situation or act which states that daughters are not eligible to the shares of their father's property who died intestate,

2. All the legal heirs of the property of a deceased person, who died without leaving a will, will get equal share of his property.

Step daughter is not eligible to get the share of her step father's property who died intestate.

1. If the property is the self acquired property of the father then the daughter is entitled to a share equal to the share of the son if her father dies without making a will.

2. If the property is ancestral then also the daughter has an equal share therein.

Step daughter is not entitled to a share in the property of her step father unless he executed a will during his life time in her favour.

after september 2005 daughters are included in the coparcenary system and because of this she is entitled to get share in ancestral property. father is the manager of all property throughout his life, if has right to alienate his self acquired property to any person, or in any one child but ancestral property will be devolve by the rules of hindu succession act. and accourding to this act she has vested interest in the ancestral property and it can't be taken away from her.

she has vested interest in ancestral property then she can file partition suit for partition of her share during the life of father. if she is agree to relinquish her right in the property she can give NOC and all property will be devolve in the male heirs. if father and mother will die simultaneously then all property will be vested in the male heir because only male is entitle to be appoint manager or karta of the ancestral property but again he has no right to strike out daughters from the interest in the property.
