mother’s share in deceased son’s property
Question
We have 3 acres of ancestorial agriculture land with a house. How should the property be shared if a son dies intestate and has no children. Currently deceased son has left behind his wife, Mother and 2 sisters(Major).
Question : > If property if shared 1/4th equally among all four (Widow, Mother and 2 sisters); Can a mother gets 50% of property share in widow’s 1/4th property apart from getting her 1/4th share separately.
Answer ( 1 )
The son if predeceased the mother then the distribution of his property will flow as per the Class I legal heirs mentioned in the Hindu Succession Act presuming that the family is practising Hindu religion. the share of the son will be equally divided between the mother and the widow. if the father and son were alive then the distribution of the property will be equal share between father, son, two daughters. on demise of the son, the share of son will be divided between mother and widow only.
