Karta succession: daughters may act as Karta when no adult male exists, following succession law amendment.
After the death of an existing Karta the eldest male member is ordinarily the successor; however the succession amendment made daughters coparceners, and where no adult male is available or male members are minors, a female coparcener may act as Karta/manager of the HUF. (AI Summary)
