When a family member passes away, property does not simply transfer itself. It must pass through the rules of succession — and where there is no will, or a disputed one, this is where many families fracture. Inheritance law turns grief into a set of practical questions: who is a legal heir, what is each share, and how is the property formally transferred.
Advocate Ramesh Kadari handles the full range of succession matters — drafting and proving wills, obtaining succession and legal-heir certificates, transmitting bank deposits and property, and litigating disputes over ancestral and self-acquired property, including the rights of daughters and widows.
The cleanest outcome is usually a documented family settlement; where that is not possible, the matter is taken through the civil court. Either way, the goal is a clear, registered record of who owns what — so the dispute does not return in the next generation.

Frequently asked questions
Under the Hindu Succession Act, as amended in 2005, daughters are coparceners by birth with the same rights and liabilities in ancestral (coparcenary) property as sons. The Supreme Court has confirmed this right applies regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005. Daughters are therefore entitled to an equal share, and can seek partition.
