Family & Inheritance Property Disputes
Family property disputes are as much about relationships as about paperwork. Who inherits depends on the personal law that applies, whether there is a will, and how the property was held. NyayGo helps you understand the records and coordinates an independent enrolled advocate — often starting with a settlement attempt.
Where these disputes are decided
Inheritance among Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists is generally governed by the Hindu Succession Act, under which daughters have been coparceners in joint family property since the 2005 amendment; Muslim, Christian and Parsi succession follow their own law. Disputes can be settled by a family settlement or mediation, or decided by a civil court in a partition, declaration or probate proceeding.

Common questions
Do daughters have a share in ancestral property?
Under the Hindu Succession Act as amended in 2005, daughters are coparceners with the same rights as sons in joint family property. How that applies to a specific property depends on the facts, so it is worth having the records reviewed.
Can a family dispute be settled without going to court?
Often, yes. A written family settlement or mediation can resolve many inheritance disputes. Where that fails, a civil court can decide shares and order partition.
Can NyayGo guarantee the result?
No. Outcomes depend on the facts, the evidence and the law, and no one can lawfully guarantee a result. The advocate on your matter will explain the options and the risks.
