A Hindu male dying intestate is entitled to the property of his intestate estate, which includes the ancestral property of his deceased parents and the property he acquired during his lifetime.
The succession to an intestate estate is governed by the principles of first inheritance and survivorship. According to first inheritance, the surviving spouse or children inherit the entire intestate. In the absence of surviving spouses or children, the property passes to the next surviving relative in line order. Survivorship applies to the property of the deceased father first, followed by the mother, and then the children.
In the case of intestate succession to a Hindu male, the following order applies:
The surviving spouse inherits the entire intestate.
If the spouse is a minor, the property is inherited by his or her legal guardian.
The property then passes to the surviving children in equal shares.
The intestate estate also includes the property of the deceased male's ancestors. The ancestral property is passed down to his children through the process of primogeniture.
The succession to an intestate estate is a complex legal matter that requires careful consideration of the deceased's intestate and the laws of succession applicable in the Hindu legal system
