If the property is coparcenery in nature and undivided, then, the sons and daughters have equal right by birth irrespective of the status whether they have been married, expenses met by parents. You should engage a competent and trustworthy lawyer to support your cause.

In this matter you have to file a partition suit.

You are absolutely eligible to get your share (1/6) of the property/ properties.

Don't worry, approach good lawyer.

Good luck / All the best

Firstly, it depends upon the nature of the property.

Like- for Self Acquired

If there is no will with regard to the property then it would divide equally amongst all the legal heirs.

Like- Anscestral

Then if the portion was not happened before 2005, then also daughters would have all the rights for their respective shares.

Yes, you can directly go to the Court and move an application for your shares as per Succession Act.

Now, you can hire any good lawyer from Kanoon, and fight your case.

Good Luck...!

Dear Client,

Daughter have equal share in parents property along with son and in your case it`s 1/6th share each.

U can approach directly to court, but drafting a partition petition will be tough deal for u .

So local lawyer will be needed as verse with law and handle day to day hearing and effective representation of case.

1. BEING Hindu's, the property rights of the brother cannot be taken away.

2. The brothers have equal property rights over the property of their parents. However IF the parents had prepared a proper will bequeathing the property only to the sisters, ONLY THEN the brothers rights can be truncated.

3. Settle amicably, and execute a duly stamped and registered Family Settlement Deed, with mutual consent, outlining the dividing property rights to all the legal heirs.

1. If your parents have died intestate (without executing a WILL), then each of the children is entitled to equal share in the property.

2. In the instant case, 3 brothers and 3 sisters are entitled to equal share in the ratio of 1/6th each.

3. Send a legal notice to your brothers for equal share and partition of the property.

4. If your brothers refuse to give equal share, then file a case against them in the jurisdictional civil court praying for declaration, partition and separate possession of the property by metes and bounds. This procedure may take between 6 months to a year.

You first issue a legal notice combindly to all the three brothers by all the three of yo seeking partition and separate possession of your shares in the properties that belonged to your parents who are reported to have died intestate.

If there is a possibility and feasibility for an amicable partition, you may agree provided the conditions are satisfied, if not you may approach court with a partition suit by engaging the services of an advocate.

Not every lawyer you meet will be supporting them, you can still find a lawyer to take up your case on his/her terms.
