Question

A disqualified person/heir:

• A. Transmits an interest to his or her own heir
• B. Transmits no interest to his or her own heir
• C. May or may not transmit an interest to his or her own heir as per the discretion of the court
• D. May only transmit an interest to his or her own heir with the consent of the other heirs

Hint:

A disqualified heir is treated as civilly dead for inheritance purposes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Doctrine of disqualification.
Under succession laws, if a person is disqualified from inheriting property (e.g., due to murder or civil disability), then such person is treated as non-existent for inheritance purposes.
Step 2: Effect on heirs of disqualified person.
The heirs of a disqualified person cannot claim inheritance through that person because the disqualified person transmits no interest.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, option (b) is correct.
