Section 242: Separated heir entitled to succession

1) If a person dies when that person was staying with any heir who has lived separately, after taking his or her partition share of property, because an unseparated heir has not maintained (Shyahar samhar) and taken care of that person, such separated heir shall be entitled to the succession of that person.

2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1), if a person dies when that person was staying with any heir only for a few days, without taking his or her partition share of property, the heir with whom that person had so stayed shall not be entitled to succession of that person.
