Question

    Coparcenary property of a Hindu:

    A Devolves by succession Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Devolves by survivorship Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Can be partitioned Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Cannot be partitioned Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Once a coparcenary comes into being, the interest of a deceased coparcener in the coparcenary property devolvesĀ  through survivorship Ā and not through succession. In other words, the coparceners hold the property as joint tenants and not as tenants-in-common. The rule of survivorship applies to coparcenary property, while succession applies to theĀ  separate or self-acquired property of a person .
