Features of a Hindu
Coparcenary
Creature of law:
Exclusion of females:
Before the 2005 Amendment, no female could be a coparcener,
although she could be a member of a joint Hindu family. Even a
wife who was entitled to be maintained out of her husbands
property (and had, to that extent, an interest in his property) was
not her husbands coparcener.
Prior to the passing of the Hindu Succession Act in 1956. sons and
grandsons whose father was dead, and great-grandsons whose
father and grand-father were both dead, succeeded
simultaneously as a single heir to the separate or self-acquired
property of the deceased with the right of survivorship, and such
property would become ancestral property in their hands.
(i) Firstly, the lineal male descendants of a person upto the third
generation acquire, on birth, ownership in the ancestral properties
of such a person. (Now, i.e., after the 2005 Amendment, even
females acquire such an interest.)
(ii) Secondly, such descendants can, at any time, work out their
rights, by asking for a partition.
(iii) Thirdly, till such a partition, each member has got ownership
extending over the entire property, jointly with the other
coparceners.
