Daughter's vested interest in father's property


24-May-2023 (In Property Law)
We are Hindus. My grandfather passed away last year (September 2016). My grandfather has two children son (my uncle) and daughter ( my mother). He wrote his property in the name of his son's grandchildren. So as we the children of my mother are left with nothing. He has many valuables like jewels etc in his locker which was not written on anyone but he kept my uncle as joint partner. My uncle says there's nothing in that locker. So we as grandchildren do not have any right on the property now?

Sir/Madam,
The said property of your grandfather is his self acquired one? then he can write a will in anyone's favor, whether he mentioned anything about the valuable jewels in his will?, as for as the bank locker is concerned the nominee can operate the same and here the nominee can act as mere executor and he cannot take all if you are having right in such articles.

Hello,

If the property was the self acquired property of your grandfather, then he can write it to whichever legal heir he wants. If it is ancestral property, then your mother can claim her share. Make sure that you see his will to confirm that he has left the property to your uncle.

If he is not willing to share the ancestral property/property that was not given in the will, then you can file a suit for partition of those properties.
