If deceased were both Hindu and left no known Will, the survivors, mother and daughter get equal share. A guardian has to be appointed to look after the share of minor. It is presumed that the property was in the name of husband.

Hello,

As the daughter of the deceased parents and the mother of the man who died without a will are first category legal heirs are entitled to equal share.

There is no way the daughter can get 100% right over the property.

If the mother is willing to relinquish her right in favour of the grand daughter she can get full rights.

1. In the instant case, both the mother and daughter will get equal share of the property of the deceased person,

2. The mother will be custodian of her daughter's share which can not be sold by the mother without the leave of the District Judge till the daughter attains adulthood,

3. When the daughter becomes major, she can sell or deal with her share of the property in any way she would like to.

Assuming the deceased was a Hindu, he shall be governed by Hindu Succession Act.By virtue of Section 10 of Hindu Succession Act 956 which reads as:-

Distribution of property among heirs in class 1 of the Schedule. - The property of an intestate shall be divided among the heirs in class I of the Schedule in accordance with the following rules:-

Rule1.- The intestate’s widow, or if there are more widow than one, all the widows together, shall take one share.

Rule 2.- The surviving sons and daughter and the mother of the intestate shall each take one share.

Rule 3.- The heirs in the branch of each pre-deceased son or each pre-deceased daughter of the intestate shall take between them one share.

Rule 4.- The distribution of the share referred to in Rule 3-

(i) among the heirs in the branch of the pre-deceased son shall be son made that his widow (or widows together) and the surviving sons and daughters get equal portions, and the branch of his pre-deceased sons gets the same portion.

(ii) among the heirs in the branch of the pre-deceased daughter shall be so made that the surviving sons and daughters get equal portions.

In view of above mentioned Section , both mother and daughter will get equal share of the property of the deceased. However, since the child is a minor, so Court will appoint Guardian , who will look after the property of the minor.

1. Since the mother of the deceased person is alive his daughter cannot succeed to the entire property. Both mother and daughter are now the equal owners of the property which was owned by the deceased person.

2. Unless and until the daughter attains majority her grand mother will be the custodian of her share in the property. She will not be able to sell the property of her minor grand daughter except without the permission of the court.
