Dear Madam,

It is your Streedhana property and you can enjoy the property by yourself and also transfer the same to anybody you like.  Streedhana is defined as followes:

Streedhan is the property that a woman obtains at the time of her marriage or at anytime. it differs from Dowry in the way that it is the voluntary gifts given to a woman before or after her marriage and has no element of coercion. The Courts have also made this distinction clear. Women have an absolute right over their Streedhan. The case of Pratibha Rani v. Suraj Kumar Case is also discussed.”

  1. As per the information mention in the present query, makesit clear that the property which you have got, have got from your mother.
  2. Now, as per the meaning of anscestral property, is that property which you have got from your father or forefather.
  3. So, the property is now your self acquired property irrespective of the fact that whether it was anscestral or self acquired of your mother.
  4. No body can claim any right in it.

As this property is not your self acquired property and passed to you by succession your daughter will have the right in the property if left.

The ancestral property is decided after the third generation so during your lifetime you can sell this property are you can transfer as per your choice but in case you die without a will this property will be divided among the legal Heirs equally

The property inherited by you shall become your own and absolute property.

You are the absolute owner of the property withclear and marketable title 

You can dispose the property in any manner and to anyone of your choice, nobody can claim any share in it as a right during your lifetime.
