Hindu succession law in India governs the distribution of property and assets among family members after the death of a Hindu individual. The Hindu Succession Act of 1956 provides for the laws governing the succession of property among Hindus.

The property of a Hindu male or female who dies intestate (without leaving a will) is distributed among his/her legal heirs. The legal heirs include the deceased’s spouse, children, grandchildren, and parents. If the deceased individual has no surviving spouse or children, the property is distributed among other relatives in a specific order.

To claim a share of the property, the legal heirs must file a petition in court, providing the necessary documents and proof of their relationship to the deceased individual. The court will then conduct an investigation to determine the legitimacy of the claim and distribute the property accordingly.

The law also provides for the equal distribution of property among male and female heirs, and removes the distinction between “ancestral” and “self-acquired” property. Under the Hindu Succession Act, all property, whether inherited or acquired by the deceased individual, is considered “ancestral” property and is subject to equal distribution among legal heirs.
