How does inheritance takes place under Muslim law?

There is no concept of ancestral property or right of inheritance by birth in Islamic law. Muslim law recognised that persons may leave behind a will, but a will (unless ratified by all the heirs of the person leaving behind the will) is valid only to the extent of 1/3rd of the deceased's property. Insofar as it is valid, it is governed by the regular laws applicable to wills in India.
