Does this tool give my exact legal share?

No. It is a simplified educational estimate of Class I shares under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 for common family patterns. Actual shares depend on documents, earlier partitions, state amendments, personal law and court findings. Talk to a registered advocate via Adhiwakta WhatsApp for your facts.

What if there was a will?

A valid will generally governs. Use the probate / Letters of Administration guide. This calculator is for intestate (no-will) Hindu succession only.

Why can't I calculate Muslim or Christian shares here?

Those follow different personal laws (e.g. Quranic shares; Indian Succession Act 1925 for many Christian/Parsi cases). Computing them wrongly would mislead — so the tool explains and points you to WhatsApp guidance instead.

Are daughters equal to sons?

For Class I distribution of a male Hindu's property under ss.8/10, each son and each daughter takes one equal share. For ancestral/coparcenary property, daughters are coparceners by birth after the 2005 amendment (Vineeta Sharma, 2020). Details still need fact-checking.

Is Adhiwakta a law firm?

No. Adhiwakta is a facilitation platform. It does not appear in court or guarantee outcomes. You can talk to a registered advocate via Adhiwakta WhatsApp for general educational guidance.

Virasat Hissa Finder — how much is my share in parents' property?

Free interactive tool for India: answer a few questions (will? religion? male/female deceased? self-acquired or ancestral? living family) and see a simplified Class I share under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 — fraction + percentage per person, a visual breakdown, documents to start, next steps, and a shareable WhatsApp Status card. Hindi + English. Runs in your browser. Educational facilitation only — not legal advice.

⚠️ General information only — simplified. Not legal advice. Actual shares depend on facts, documents, earlier partitions and applicable law.

Virasat Hissa Finder is general educational information about intestate (no-will) succession under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. It is simplified (one stirpital level of grandchildren only), not legal advice, and not a substitute for an independent registered advocate. Actual shares depend on facts, documents, earlier partitions, state amendments, personal law, and court findings. Muslim, Christian, Parsi and other personal laws are different — this tool does not compute those. Adhiwakta is a facilitation platform, not a law firm — it does not appear in court, draft deeds for a fee here, or guarantee any outcome.
