rules mentioned in the Indian Succession Law.
 If a deceased person has left behind widow and children both
then 1/3rd of his property would be simply given to his widow
and rest 2/3rd would be distributed equally among children.
 If no children but father/mother are alive, then property would
be given 1/2 to widow and 1/2 to parents.
 If no parents are alive too then the whole estate will go directly
to the widow.
 If none of the above are alive then the property would go to the
nearest degree of kin to him.
 If there are no heirs mentioned above then the estate will go to
the government.
 The rights of a widower are same as above.
 If the deceased has left his widow, then after deducting the share
of the widow, the distribution of property is as under:
• If there are surviving children and no other descendants, the
property would be divided equally among all children.
• If there are no surviving children but surviving grand-
children then the property would be divided equally among
all grand children.
• Where there are only great grand children or any other lineal
descendants then the property would go to the nearest in
degree to the deceased person.
• If there are surviving children and grand children too then
each branch becomes important and each branch of lineal
descendants takes equal shares in the property.
 If the deceased has left behind no lineal descendants but
father/mother/brother/sister then father has the highest priority in
the property distribution after the share of a widow, if any.
 If there is no father but mother/brother/sister then they are given
the share equally.
 If father is dead and mother is alive and if brother/sister or children
of any brother/ sister who had died during the intestate’s lifetime,
then the property would be given equally to mother and each living
brother/sister whereas living children of deceased brother and sister
shall be entitled to the share of their deceased parents in equal
proportion.
