Can son claim father’s property for non-financial contributions?

Can an adult Hindu son claim a right—whether full or partial—in his father's self-acquired property based on "non-financial" contributions made towards the property (such as care, support, or other assistance)? Or is the concept of "non-financial contribution" recognized only in matrimonial cases, particularly in favor of women during divorce proceedings? What does Indian law say about this?

A Hindu son has no legal right over his father’s self-earned property, even if he supported him emotionally or helped in other ways. The law allows the father to keep or give it as he wishes. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
