REGARDING KARTA OF HUF

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

When the male Karta of a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) passes away, the question of succession arises. Recent legal interpretations, including a Delhi High Court ruling, affirm that a woman can indeed become the Karta. If the deceased Karta's wife does not wish to assume this role, a major son can become Karta with mutual consent. While a widow can manage HUF assets, especially if coparceners are minors, the primary right to be Karta typically falls to the eldest coparcener if one is available.

07 February 2024 I think judgement says 'A widow can manage the HUF assets if the coparceners are minors until the eldest coparcener attains majority', A widow can be a member but not coparcener...and can manage HUF assets or represent on behalf of HUF, only if no major coparcener is available, else only eldest coparcener will be karta
