1. The partition deed will have to be executed.

2. A Karta or Manager of a HUF has all the powers to manage the family and its assets, being head of the family. The joint family property vests in the family and its coparceners. On partition Karta gets his share. He is not absolute independent, individual owner of the property. Each coparcener/member has a share, right, title and interest in the ancestral property. One of the coparceners can sell his undivided share to another coparcener thereby increasing his share in the HUF properties. Consent of others is not necessary.

3. The coparceners will have to be represented by a lawyer if the notice is issued.

A HUF can be dissolved due to partition also.

HUF is a body consisting of persons lineally descended from a common ancestor and include their wives and unmarried daughters, who are living together, joint in food, estate.

There should be a family i.e group of persons – more than one

They should be undivided i.e living jointly and having commonness amongst them.

A HUF, as such, can consist of a very large number of members including female members as well as distant blood relatives in the male line.

Birth of a male (female also as per latest amendment in the year 2005)in a Hindu joint family makes him a Co-parcener of the HUF.

The relevance of concept of coparcenary is that only coparceners can ask for partition. The other male family members : i.e other than coparceners in a HUF, have no direct claim over HUF property, but can claim only through the coparceners.

Now in your case all the HUF members are entitled to an equal share in the HUF properties.

Partition is the severance of the status of Joint Hindu Family, known as Hindu Undivided Family under tax laws.

Partition under Hindu law, can be total or partial. In total partition all the members cease to be members of the HUF and all the properties cease to the properties belonging to the said HUF.

Partition is word of technical import in Hindu Law. Partition in one sense is a severance of joint status and coparcener of a coparcenary is entitled to claim it as a matter of his individual volition. In this narrow sense all that is necessary to constitute partition is a definite and unequivocal indication of his intention by a member of a joint family to separate himself from the family and enjoy his share in severalty.

It is at the sweet will of the co-parceners and members as to whether to allot on partition in accordance with the share specified under the Hindu Succession Act or to allot lower or more to anyone or more persons. The partition in the family could not be considered to be a disposition conveyance, assignment, settlement, delivery, payment or other alienation of property. A member of a Hindu undivided family has no definite share in the family property before division and he cannot be said to diminish directly or indirectly the value of his property or to increase the value of the property of any other coparcener by agreeing to take a share lesser than what he would have got if he would have gone to a court to enforce his claim.
