Coparceners

A coparcener is a member of a joint Hindu family who has a legal right to jointly own and inherit the family's ancestral property. Typically, in such families, the property is shared equally among male members up to three generations, and each coparcener has the right to demand a partition, meaning they can seek to divide the property and obtain their share. The concept of coparcenary emphasizes collective ownership and inheritance rights, allowing members to have a say in the property's management and distribution. It is a distinctive feature of Hindu joint family law, emphasizing familial ties and shared property rights.
