As per Hindu Secession Act, late Grandfather's two sons and two daughters will get equal share over the property. (Each will get 1/4th share) In case any one of them died, their legal heirs will get that share.

HELLO !

FIRST YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS WHETHER YOU ARE GOVERNED BY HINDU SUCCESSION ACT OR MUSLIM LAW. AS PER HINDU SUCCESSION ACT, WHEN YOUR GRAND FATHER DIED INTESTATE YOUR (mothers father) YOU HAVE NO RIGHT AS LONG AS YOUR MOTHER IS ALIVE. THE PROPERTY SHALL BE PARTITIONED AMONG THE LEGAL HEIRS OF YOUR GRAND FATHER.( 2 sons & 2 daughters ) IF YOU HAPPENED TO BE DAUGHTER OF ONE AMONG THE TWO DAUGHTER'S OF YOUR GRAND FATHER THEN YOU CAN GET THE SHARE THROUGH YOUR MOTHER. FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION PL. HAVE MOBILE DIALOGUE.
