Question:
We are three siblings—two brothers and one sister. I inherited the land of my father’s house, and my only daughter will inherit this property. What happens if my daughter dies before me?
Answer:
If your daughter dies before you and has no children, then the property will typically go back to her legal heirs, which would be her parents, you (the father), or her other immediate family members, as per the inheritance laws.
In the absence of a direct heir from your daughter, the following would apply:
Under Islamic Law: The property will be divided among the legal heirs of your daughter. If your daughter has no children, the next heirs would be you (as her parent) and your husband (her father).
Under Bangladesh’s Inheritance Laws: Inheritance laws are generally based on personal law. If your daughter dies intestate (without a will), and you are her only surviving parent, you would inherit her portion of the property.
