Christian Law of Succession



 The Christian Law of Succession is governed by the provisions in the Indian Succession Act, 1925. However, with respect to Indian Christians. 

The laws of inheritance applicable to Christians are same for both genders. The property of a person dying intestate is bequeathed to the spouse of the deceased, or upon those who are kindred of the person deceased. Chapter II of the ISA provides for the order and the concerned rules for the devolution of the estate and the share to be allotted to the heirs.

 The term ‘lineal descendants’, as described under the ISA, includes children or children’s children and only those born out of a lawful marriage, If an intestate has left a spouse and also lineal descendants, 1/3rd of the estate shall devolve upon the spouse and the remaining 2/3rd shall go to the lineal descendants.
