Query
I have a daughter and husband. I want to know if I die, who will succeed to my property and in what proportion? Again, if my husband dies, how much I and my daughter will get from my husband's property? It may be pointed that we have only child- a daughter.

Response
You have not indicated about your religious orientation. Assuming that you are Muslim, upon the death of your husband, you will be entitled to one eight of his property. Since you have only one daughter, she will be entitled to one third of the properties of your husband. The remaining properties of your husband will vest in favour of his siblings and parents.
As far as your properties are concerned, upon your death, your husband will be entitled to one fourth of your properties and your daughter will be entitled to one third. The remaining properties of your will vest in favour of your siblings and parents.
