      Question

      Coparcenary property of a Hindu:

      A Devolves by succession Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Devolves by survivorship Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Can be partitioned Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Cannot be partitioned Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Once a coparcenary comes into being, the interest of a deceased coparcener in the coparcenary property devolves  through survivorship  and not through succession. In other words, the coparceners hold the property as joint tenants and not as tenants-in-common. The rule of survivorship applies to coparcenary property, while succession applies to the  separate or self-acquired property of a person .
