Coparcenary is a term used in matters related to Hindu Succession Law. It refers to a person who has the capacity to assume a legal right in his ancestral property by birth. It means ‘unity of title, possession and interest’. It is purely a creation of law; it cannot be created by the act of parties, except by adoption. It is directly derived from the concept and practice of Hindu undivided family. Coparcenary is only found in Hindu Law which acquires interest in family by birth. A Coparcenary can travel till three generations and sanctioned by Mitakshara.
