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

Detailed Legal Analysis

When a Hindu male dies intestate in Imphal, 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 Manipur seeking your share, listing all legal heirs as parties.

You must obtain a legal heir certificate and mutation entries from the revenue authorities in Imphal. Under Manipur Rent Control Act 2013, 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 Manipur High Court under Manipur Rent Control Act 2013.
