Hi,
The succession of a property is a huge deal. If a person dies intestate then the distribution of his/her estate is done as per the Hindu Succession Act. The act states that the property of an individual who died without making a will should be distributed amongst class 1 heirs or class 2 heirs. But what happens to property when someone dies without relatives. Well, that’s a tricky slope for some of us who don’t have much idea on the subject.
Let me take you through the answer and I will also address who are class 1 and class 2 heirs for better understanding.
Who are class 1 and class 2 heirs according to Hindu Succession Act?According to Hindu Succession Act, class 1 heirs include children, spouse, parents, son or daughter of predeceased son/daughter and widow of predeceased son.
Class 2 heirs include the father, son’s daughter’s son, son’s daughter’s daughter, brother, sister, daughter’s son’s son, daughter’s son’s daughter, daughter’s daughter’s son, daughter’s daughter’s daughter, brother’s son, sister’s son, brother’s daughter, sister’s daughter, father’s father, father’s mother, father’s widow, brother’s widow, father’s brother, father’s sister, mother’s father, mother’s sister, mother’s brother, mother’s sister.
What happens to property when someone dies without relatives?To answer your query, if a person dies without any relatives from class 1 or class 2 heirs’ list then the property is lapsed to the state Government.
Who has power of attorney after death if there is no will?The power of attorney ceases to be in effect in case of the death of the principal. So, it should not matter who has the POA after death if there is no will.
I hope you have your answers on what happens to property when someone dies without relatives.
