In our country, initially men were given property share and rights to enjoy property, then women were also given property rights and the Property Rights Act, 1956 was enacted.
Various new questions arise regarding the claim that women have the same right to property as men. In particular, it is generally explained that his sons and daughters have equal rights in the father’s self-earned property or inherited property. Many people are confused as to whether these Procedures are applicable to property in grandfather’s name.
In some places it is explained that women have equal rights only in father’s property. Advice given by legal experts in this regard:
The property in grandfather’s name may be his self-earned property or the property that came in his name through inheritance. In this, one model for his self-earned property and one model for inherited property, the explanations are said to cause confusion.
If a will is written stating who should inherit the self-earned assets while the grandfather is still alive, the grandson and granddaughters can get the right accordingly.
But in the absence of a will, the division of shares in his self-earned property is a bit more complicated. In particular, it should be observed how many sons and daughters the grandfather has, who among them, and who have heirs.
After the death of the grandfather, the right of the grandmother should be considered when dividing the unwritten self-earned property of the grandfather.
In the case of hereditary property, the way in which it came to him will be investigated and the right of the next heirs will be confirmed on that basis.
In some cases, the hereditary right to a particular property may end with the grandfather. When it ends like this, it is likely to become his personal property.
Therefore, based on the recent amendments in Indian Property Act, Indian Succession Act, grandsons and granddaughters can assert their rights and seek relief.
