Do Grandchildren Have a Right to Their Grandfather’s Property?

Do grandchildren have a right to grandfather’s property? Thinking of leaving your property behind for your grandchildren? Here’s what you should know.

A grandchild’s right to his or her grandfather’s property depends on the nature of the property the grandfather has – whether it is self-acquired property or ancestral property.

Ancestral property

Property inherited by a Hindu from his father, grandfather or grandfather’s father, is ancestral property. Any property that passes undivided down four generations of male lineage is called ancestral property. The grandson’s right to a share in this property accrues by birth itself. This is different from other kinds of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner.

Ancestral property rights are determined on the basis of per stirpes and not per capita. Therefore, first, each generation’s share is determined and then successive generations sub-divide what has been inherited by their respective predecessors. In an ancestral property, grandsons have an equal share on the same.

According to a Supreme Court ruling, a daughter can only claim ancestral property if her father died after the amendment of the Hindu law. The apex court said that a daughter’s right to ancestral property does not arise if the father died before this amendment, which came into force in 2005.

Making a will is one of the best things a senior citizen can do for their loved ones. Here’s a detailed guide

Self-acquired property

Indian law concerning Hindus is very clear that self-acquired intestate (no will made) property only of the deceased male/female Hindu is inherited by his/her sons and daughters in equal proportion along with the surviving spouse. The grandsons or granddaughters have no right to inherit or claim any share in the property of the grandfather or grandmother if their own father or mother are alive. The grandchild does not have a birthright on the self-acquired property of the grandparent. The grandparents can transfer the property to whoever they wish in a will.

We asked our legal expert Shiv Kumar to shed more light on this and here is what he had to say: Whether grandchildren have a right to their grandfather’s property depends upon whether such property is joint family property or the self-acquired property of the grandfather. If the property is joint family property (HUF property) the grandchildren would also be entitled to a share depending upon the number of members or coparceners of such joint family. However, in the case of self-acquired property of grandfather, no such right vests in any person much less grandchildren to inherit the grandfather’s property. The grandfather would have absolute rights to dispose of his property in any manner of his choice, including by Will.

(The above guideline is based on the Hindu Succession Act. There may be some differences in some states and/or different religions. This guide does not constitute legal advice and is not a substitute for a lawyer.

My grandfather died in 2006. Later on his demise in 2008 my both uncles took rights on my grandfather's property without knowing my mother who is also a legal daughter of my grandfather. What is the best way to deal with this situation since my mother is still alive and as a grandson I have to give proper right to my mother by taking it from my uncle also we have property dispute in between (between uncle and my mother). My mother is aged now (nearby 55) she is a normal housewife and she is not well worse about her brother's intentions. As a Nephew how can I teach a lesson to my uncle. We don't want property for ourselves but just want to teach lesson to my uncle and let him know the cost of betrayal to any women. can anyone please help me out here.

Actully my father died during the life of Grandfather and after few year my grandfather also died without giving his any will to any one . After the death of our grand father property was distributed in 6 parts including me also i am the elder son of my father . Now after 15 years of partition our uncles are claiming for our fathers prpperty as per them you don’t have right to take the share of your father because your father died in the lifetime of our father .. so my question is that is they are right, is we don’t have right to take the share of our fathers property ??

Good evening to you.My late grandfather lived with my parents at an older age n passed away in their home while my 3 siblings my only cousin and I lived.My cousin had been with us from age 3 till she got married .My late mother was the eldest of the only three female siblings so she was getting proceeds of her grand father after my grand father passed away.Now my mother and her three sister have passed away and it falls on me to receive the proceeds as the eldest of four siblings and our only female cousin.Now that the proceeds got to me I suggested we grand children /cousins shared the it equally not minding am the eldest but my father objected saying my cousin should be given her mother's share while four of us share our mother's.My mother never shared with her sisters cos she was taking care of them and my cousin.Also there was no will or meeting by our mothers on how to share the proceeds because they all had health issues and passed away .What is the best way to resolving this pls?Thank you.

In the self aquired property of father who dies without a will in 1959,and the daughter releases her right of her share to her brother in the presence of magistrate court in 2018 by appearing in person twice,and subsequently the court gives the judgement by agreeing to tranfer her shares to the brother and one year after the daughter of the sisters moves an application saying that the brother has fraudulantly taken the signature without the knowledge of her mother , 1.my question is whether court agrees to reppen the case because mother has agreed to release her right to her brother by appearing in court personally in 2 appearence before the judge. 2.is there any time bar to appeal. 3.whether the daughter has any right to move the court ,because the her mother has appeared 2 times before the court and cannot be said as fradulant. 4.the brother has given her part of the amount agreed as per the mutual compromise amount. 5.what will happen to the application to reopen the case again even after accepting 50 %of the agreed amount and that the mother has transferred her amount received by her from her brother .

My Great Grandfather's property & Grandfather's property was decreed in favour of my Father & Uncle after 35 years of legal battle. My uncle was in the Army after stepping out he did his Law at the age of 60yrs. He then started filing cases after cases . Finally when it reached FDP, he still kept pinching filing cases . Unfortunately my Dad passed away at the age of 93yrs , my uncle followed my Father to. As the partition was between my Father and Uncle . One clarification, the courts divided the property as 4/9th & 4/9 th between the two of them. This happened much earlier to 2005 before the Succession Act. Now , how can court partition the property between three Grand Daughters ( married 40yrs back) and one Grandson. My Father passed away this year 2019 followed by my Uncle.
