If the property is self-acquired one, he has his own discretion of sharing amongst the children of both sexes leave alone the equality of shares. On the other hand, it the same is ancestral, all the children can compete for sharing irrespective of sex.

Under the Hindu Succession Act,1956 if a Hindu dies without any will all his property is shared equally between his widow & all his sons & all his daughters. So widow gets one half of share, all sons & all daughters get one half of share of the total property. Now among the sons & daughters they share this half share of the the property in equal proportion. If there is no widow of the deseased Hindu, then the whole property will be shared equally by all the sons & daughters in equally proportions. One more clarification, what ever I have stated here is with regards to the one single family unit consisting of husband,wife & children only. I have not taken in account other heirs who also will be covered in class I of the Schedule as provided in the said Act & also if exist will have share in the property.

Legally there is equal right for equal share. While dividing the ancestral property, per head is counted and shared, irrespective of the relationship among them. .

Widow, Daughters, sons and adopted children, all have right in the property. But 'will' is a very well accepted document, which can allot the whole of property to all sons or one of the sons or a daughter or an adopted child or an illegal child or all to the widow. See the "will".

I have included a website on hindu laws. I have just lost one of my parents so I send you my sympothy. You do have an equal share but how much do you trust your siblings? I know when my mother-in-law died two of the brothers hurried and took most of her possions before anyone else could. Again I am sorry for your loss.

All are equal in the eyes of law. Father can change as per will.

If by technique of Indian you propose close by American, then it would want to all likely flow to oldest son. yet in case you propose authentic Indian then I unquestionably do not recognize. i might want to assume that, no count what, the eldest daughters husband might want to get no longer some thing considering that he's not a blood relative.
