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

Detailed Legal Analysis

When a Hindu male dies intestate in Dharamshala, 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 Himachal Pradesh seeking your share, listing all legal heirs as parties.

You must obtain a legal heir certificate and mutation entries from the revenue authorities in Dharamshala. Under Himachal Pradesh Rent Control Act 2012, 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 Himachal Pradesh High Court under Himachal Pradesh Rent Control Act 2012.
