My father died without a will in Chandigarh how do I claim my share in his property

Detailed Legal Analysis

When a Hindu male dies intestate in Chandigarh, his property is divided among legal heirs as per the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. You can file a suit for partition before the civil court in Chandigarh seeking your share, listing all legal heirs as parties.

You must obtain a legal heir certificate and mutation entries from the revenue authorities in Chandigarh. Under Chandigarh Rent Control Act 1973, daughters have equal rights as sons in ancestral and self-acquired property of the deceased.

If any heir refuses to partition amicably, the court will appoint a commissioner for physical partition. If the partition is disputed, you can approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court under Chandigarh Rent Control Act 1973.
