The transgender community has been abandoned for long, owing to incidents of non-acceptance, abandonment and most of the times harassment from the family members, they are often forced to leave their family and parental home and become vulnerable to homelessness at a very young age. In most of the cases, they end up in shelter-homes and gradually they fall in line with the Guru-Chela system that have been a part of the transgender community since long. On the other hand, though the transgender community have access to education and self-earning capacities, tries to have access to their livelihood, they are restrained in their access to housing and property due to discrimination in the present laws that manage the inheritance laws in India. The laws of inheritance are mainly governed by the personal laws, and in most of the cases, the rights of the transgender remain silent, or they are denied of inheriting any property of their ancestors. The paper highlights the property as well as inheritance rights of the transgender community in India. The paper also presents the current scenario of the legal status of the transgender after passing of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019.
