Maternal Grandparents' Property: Children's Rights After Mother's Death

• If a mother dies, her children have rights to her parents' (maternal grandparents') property, challenging common assumptions about 'ancestral' property.
• The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 dictates that property inherited after its enactment is considered personal property, not ancestral.
• In cases without a will, Class I legal heirs (wife, son, daughter) receive equal shares of the deceased's property.
• If a daughter dies, her inherited share passes to her legal heirs, such as her husband and son, who step into her place.
• A gift deed by one heir cannot legally transfer another heir's share; the daughter's share still belongs to her husband and children.
