12. Inheritance.

The Korku law of inheritance differs somewhat from that of the

Hindus. Among them a grandson does not inherit the property of his

grandfather unless it is openly and clearly granted to him during

the latter's lifetime. A married son living separately from his

father has no right of succession to the paternal property, but if

he is unmarried, he receives half the share of a son who is living

with his father. A daughter or a daughter's son does not inherit the

father's property unless it is granted to either of them by a deed

of gift. The sons and mother share equally.
