Hi

You can mention ancestral property in your Will only to the extent of your own share.
You cannot will the entire ancestral property if it belongs to a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) or is undivided.

To avoid future disputes:

• Clearly state in the Will whether the property is self-acquired or ancestral.

• If it is ancestral and you are bequeathing only your share, mention it specifically.

• You may include a declaration in your Will like:

“I hereby bequeath my share in the ancestral property situated at [Address], which stands to my name after partition, to my daughter [Name]…”
