Division of property between brother and sister after father’s d

Under Hindu Law, brother and sister are at par when it comes to the devolution of property of a father dying intestate.

When a Hindu male dies intestate (without leaving a will), his property devolves upon the legal heirs as per Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The legal heirs are as follows:

• Class I heirs
• Class II heirs (if no one in class I)
• Agnates (if no one in class II)
• Cognates (if no one in agnates)
