Hindu Succession Law Explains Property Rights of Wife and Children
Under Hindu succession law, self-acquired property owned by a Hindu male is equally inherited by Class I heirs, including wife and children, if he dies without a valid will. A daughter has equal rights as a son in ancestral property and intestate succession. While alive, a father can distribute self-acquired property through a will, but without one, the property is shared equally. Making a will is advised to specify inheritance preferences and avoid unintended claims.
