No Will? Property Rights & Division Rules Explained for Heirs

• If parents die without a will (intestate death), property is divided equally among all legal heirs: sons, daughters, wife, and mother (if alive).
• An unregistered will is legally valid if properly written, signed by the deceased, attested by two witnesses, and not made under coercion or fraud.
• Daughters have equal rights to property as sons, in both ancestral and self-acquired property, following the 2005 law amendment.
• Self-acquired property can be fully distributed via a will, while ancestral property gives all heirs a birthright.
• To avoid disputes, create a clear, detailed, and legal will, especially in large families with many heirs.
