Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the role of women in Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). While a female cannot typically form an HUF on her own, she can become the Karta of an existing HUF, especially if the male Karta is deceased. It's also confirmed that an eldest daughter can become Karta, even with a younger brother, provided the other coparceners consent.

As of now female alone cannot form HUF with other decedents of the family. But she can become Karta of any existing HUF in case male Karta is no more.

One more query sir, after the Demise of the Karta , can the eldest daughter become the karta of HUF, Despite having a younger male brother? 

Yes, she can be with consent of other coparceners.
