Q.We are two brothers and two sisters. Our father passed away recently without a will. Are my sisters entitled to the self-acquired properties of our father? — R.B. Yes, your sisters will have the same right to your father’s properties as the brothers.

Assuming that your aunt was a Hindu, the inheritance for women follows the Hindu Succession Act, 1925, if there is a will, and the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, in case a woman dies intestate.

If the property is self-acquired, the husband is predeceased, and there are no kids, it will go to the husband’s heirs, not to her parents, siblings or other relatives. In inherited property, there is a further distinction based on the source of inheritance. As per Section 15(2)(a), if the property is inherited from her parents, it devolves to the father’s heirs in the absence of any kids.
