Inheritance means the devolution of a property to a relative after the death of its owner. A person can inherit a property in two ways-

• • Through a will (testamentary succession)  If a person dies after making a will, then his property is distributed as per the dictates of the will. The person who has made the will is known as a testator and the person in whose favour the will is made is known as the legatee.

• Through laws of intestate succession- If the owner of the property dies without making a will, then his property is distributed as per the laws of intestate succession.

Both the ancestral property and the self-acquired property can be inherited after the death of the owner. Personal laws like Hindu Succession Act,1956, the Muslim Personal Laws (Shariat) Application Act, etc and also Indian Succession Act, 1925 is applicable on inheritance. Our experts at RCIC, a property law firm in Delhi, can assist you in issues related to succession, whether it involves contesting a succession or attaining your property.

• What is intestate succession?

Succession to the property of a person who has dies without leaving a valid will is known as intestate succession. The assets are devolved in this case as per the personal laws (laws based on religion) of the deceased. Even in a case where the will made by a person is lost or if only half of the property is transferred through a will, then the rest of the property is transferred as per this law.

• Males- 

There are 4 classes of legal heirs for devolution of classes. First, the individuals in the 1st class are considered. If there is no one in the 1st class, then the property is devolved to the subsequent classes.

Class 1 relatives 

Includes -wife, son/daughter, mother, son/daughter of predeceased son/ daughter, widow of the predeceased son and few other such relatives.  The property would be distributed in equal share to widow, mother and each of the children. If in any case the child has predeceased the father, his spouse and children will collectively get his / her share. Example, Ajay has died. In his family, the members that now exist include- B- his wife; C his mother; D his daughter, F his younger son and E his middle son. G, his middle son had passed away a few years ago and he left behind his wife G-1, and two children G-2 and G 3.

So, now in this case the property will be divided into 6 equal parts among all the family members that exist after the death of Ajay. Wife and children of the predeceased son will also get 1share each.

Class II relatives

If no relative exists among the Class I heir, then the property is devolved upon Class II heirs. The relatives under this class are put in a sequence, such that the relative named first will get the property. The relatives include father, brother and sister and so on.  So, in this case if there is no relative in Class I and father of the deceased exists, then he will get the full property. If the father predeceased his deceased son, then the brothers and sisters will get the property and so on. the best lawyer for property in  south Delhi

Agnates and Cognates
