Who inherits my property if I die unmarried?

I own 50% of a land gifted by my mother. My brother owns the other 50%. If I die unmarried, will my share go to my mother or my brother?

If you die unmarried and without a will, your mother will legally inherit your 50% share as per the Hindu Succession Act. Your brother would not  inherit unless your mother also passes away. To avoid confusion, make a registered will stating your wishes. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
