Agar koi bina will ke guzar jaaye toh uski property ka kya hota hai?
Simple answer
Property us insaan ke personal law ke hisaab se legal heirs ko jaati hai. Hindu aadmi ke case mein pehle 'Class I' heirs, mainly wife, bete, betiyan aur maa, barabar hissa paate hain. Baaki rishtedaron ko tabhi milta hai jab koi Class I heir na ho.
Real-life examples
Ramesh (Hindu) bina will ke guzre. Peeche wife, ek beta, ek beti, maa aur papa hain. Wife, beta, beti aur maa ko ek-ek chauthai milega. Papa Class II heir hain, isliye Ramesh ki apni property mein unhe kuch nahi milega.
Lakshmi ko papa se ek ghar virasat mein mila tha, aur woh bina bachchon aur bina will ke guzar gayi. Woh ghar unke papa ke heirs, jaise maa, bhai-behno ko jaayega, pati ko nahi.
Chennai ke Joseph (Christian) bina will ke guzre; peeche wife aur do bachche hain. Indian Succession Act ke under wife ko ek-tihaai milega aur dono bachche baaki do-tihaai barabar baantenge.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein
- Agar valid will hai, toh property kise milegi yeh will tay karegi, yeh rules nahi.
- Bank account ya shares mein nominee usually sirf paisa leta hai aur legal heirs ke liye rakhta hai. Insurance mein close family nominee ke rules alag hain.
- Muslims mein Muslim personal law ke fixed hisse laagu hote hain (beti ko usually bete ka aadha). Scheduled Tribes mein usually unke customs chalte hain, jab tak Centre Hindu law laagu na kare.
