Response

According to a recent Supreme Court ruling, it does not matter whether the father was alive or not in 2005, when the Hindu Succession Act 1956 was amended to give equalÊrightsÊto theÊdaughterÊin her fatherÕs property.ÊSince your father died without a will, the property will be divided equally among all legal heirs. As you are a legal heir, you can make a claim over your fatherÕs property since you have the same right over it as your brother.
