04 September 2012 Hello,

I would like to know:
If in case of death of a director of a private limited company, does his legal heirs get the share of company assets?
The company is de-funct for last 15 yrs now with no records available.

Thanks

On the basis of director death, legal heirs can not claim company property, because director is only management person only and not a owner of a company.

12 September 2012 Thank you so much Neha madam,
The link you shared talks about share holding.
Further, (it may sound insane) but can you share some document which suggests that only a live person can remain as a director of a private limited company?
Also, kindly suggest any document / link where-in it is explicitly mentioned that heir-ship is not valid in case of death of a director of a private limited company.

Thanks
