Understand the Problem
The question is asking to determine the distribution of the estate of a deceased male Hindu under the Mitakshara coparcenary framework, considering various family members. Additionally, it asks whether the distribution would change if the death occurred in 2000 instead of 2009, implying a need for legal provisions and case laws relevant to Hindu succession.
Answer
2009: Equal shares among coparceners including the daughter. 2000: Daughter has no share.
In 2009, the share would be divided equally among the coparceners including the daughter. In 2000, the daughter wouldn’t have a share in the coparcenary property.

More Information
The Hindu Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, granted daughters the same rights as sons in coparcenary property. Before this amendment, daughters were not included as coparceners in the Mitakshara coparcenary.
