This Hindu Property Division Calculator is designed to assist families in understanding property division under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The calculator applies to property divisions in situations where a Hindu family member passes away without leaving a will, and inheritance is determined by law among Class I heirs. It’s relevant for:
-
Self-acquired Property: Property personally acquired by the deceased, which will be divided among immediate heirs (e.g., spouse, children, mother).
-
Class I Heirs: Includes the spouse, sons, daughters, and mother of the deceased. They inherit equally under Hindu succession laws.
-
Absence of a Will: When there is no valid will, property division follows the legal framework established under the Hindu Succession Act, distributing the estate among legal heirs.
When to Use This Calculator"
This calculator is ideal for situations where:
-
You want to estimate inheritance shares among immediate family members.
-
There is no will, and inheritance must follow the Hindu Succession Act.
-
You are dealing with self-acquired property (not ancestral property under a Hindu Undivided Family).
Please note that this calculator provides a simplified view for Class I heirs. If you have additional heirs or complex property types, consulting a legal professional may be advisable.
