Children's Property: Children have rights to their parents' property, but can parents also claim rights on their children's property? We are going to give you complete information about what the law says about this.

What does the law say

The country's law says that parents cannot claim their children's property. However, under certain circumstances, parents can claim their rights on their children's property. The government mentioned this in the amendment made in the Hindu Succession Act in 2005. Let us know in which situations parents can claim their rights on their children's property.

Mother is the first heir

The law says that if a child dies prematurely in an accident or due to illness, then the parents get the right over his property. Apart from this, if the child is an adult and unmarried, then in this situation also, if he dies under any circumstances, then the right to his property goes to his parents. However, even during this time the parents do not get full rights to the property, rather both have different rights.

According to a report by News 18, the first right to claim the child's property is given to the mother. The mother is considered the first heir. While the father is the second heir. If the mother is also not there, then in that situation the father gets full rights over the property. This is because many times many people come to claim the property as heirs, then everyone is given equal rights.

Different laws for son and daughter

If the boy is not married, then in his absence, his mother will have the first right on his property, while the father will be considered the second heir. If the mother is not there, the property will be divided among the father and other heirs.

If the boy is married, then on his death, his wife will have full right on the property. On the other hand, if the daughter is married and dies due to any reason, then the children will get the first right on her property, if there are no children, the husband will get it and finally the parents will come.
