1. Assuming that your father died intestate (without executing a WILL), then the right over the property devolves to your mother and her children.

2. Even though you are a minor, you are entitled to equal share in your father's self acquired property, along with your mother and other siblings(if there is any).

3. After you attain majority, i.e., 18 years, you can take independent decision regarding your share of the property.

1. As a natural guardian, your mother might have received balance amount in the bank, other property, etc..since you are a minor.

2. Your mother cannot sell the property now. since minor (your) rights are there and if she wants to sell the property she has to take Court's permission and use the proceeds only for the welfare of her minor's education, etc.

1. on the death of person all his properties is liable for equal division among his widow and children, if any.

2. In this case the person has left only the widow and daughter,

3. if that is so then the mother is liable to divide the property of her husband with her daughter in equal share.

4. If she can not then any person having concern for the child can apply to be appointed as guardian of the girl child through court and seek relief for her share in the property of her father, since deceased.

HI

The daughter was a minor at the time of demise of her father.

Both the daughter and wife are entitled to equal share in the properties of father in absence of will as per section 8 of Hindu succession Act(Sikhs are covered under Hindu succession Act)

The daughter can claim her share of property by filing a partition suit against the mother

Hope this information is useful.

After the death of person all his movable and immovable properties are equally distributed among to his legal heirs by way of succession. The property could not sell or transfer to others even with out the permission of the court. As a natural guardian the mother can receive the bank cash by way of submitting the proper documents before the bank.

How are you related to this minor child?

If you are close relative to her, you may bear the litigation expense and get her relief by filing a petition seeking to appoint a court guardian to the minor child and to protect her interests in the property where her share of property is involved.

This is my response to you:

1. Since the mother is the natural guardian of the child, the mother will get all the shares;

2. If the present guardian of the child is somebody else, that guardian on behalf of the child can claim a share on those movables and immovables;

3. Therefore state complete facts of the case;

4. Obtain a legal heir certificate as well as a succession certificate;

5. Both the certificates can assist in establishing the daughter as a legal heir.
