HUF means hindu undivided family. If a person dies without leaving any will then the property has to be shared by all his leagl heirs or if it is of forefathers property then also it has to be shared by all the family memebrs. (ie. total property / number of members .) Then huf will be formed and the assets will continue in the hands of huf and then income will be taxed in the hands of huf.
Contrary if the members divides the assets and takes pocession individullay then in their individual returns it will be treated as capital receipt of their respective shares.
if a person dies and he has no child or only one child and mother is already died , then it will to his individual file.
