A Hindu dies in 2026 with an interest in Mitakshara coparcenary property governed by section 6(3) of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. How does the deceased’s interest devolve?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 6(3) directs testamentary or intestate succession for a covered death after commencement of the 2005 amendment. The deceased coparcener’s share is determined as if a partition had taken place immediately before death. The absence of a will calls for intestate succession.

Where there is no valid will disposing of the interest, intestate succession applies.

Section 6(3) does not make the mode of devolution turn on whether the deceased leaves a daughter.
