Under section 30 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, when is a person deemed to die intestate in respect of property?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 30 treats a person as intestate with respect to property they did not dispose of by a testamentary disposition capable of taking effect. A person can therefore die intestate as to some property even if they made a will.
Option feedback
Option A
Intestacy as to property depends on the absence of an effective testamentary disposition.
Option B
The presence or absence of heirs does not determine whether the property was disposed of by will.
Option C
The question concerns the disposition of property the deceased leaves. Having no assets of a particular kind is not the statutory test.
Option D
Section 30 looks to whether the disposition can take effect. It does not make the appointment of a named executor the test.
