What is the share of granddaughter in ancestral property


05-Jun-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi my grandfather has given a share of 5 acres land as a partition to my father ( among of four sons ). I dont think there is any legal paper for the share transfer. Now my point is My father has sold the above property in 2007 ( I was aged 21 years that time) with out my notice and he died in 2008. Now recently i got to know about the property has been sold out. Can i claim the property now?? How much rights do i have on it?? Please suggest me with best option to suit a file. Me and My sister are the only heirs of my father, Even she not aware of it. I dont have any documents related to land except survey number ( which i got to know recently )

once partition was done by your grand father, it does not come under ancestral property. Your father has right to sell even without your notice also. Without documents how can you claim that the property belonging to your father?

You do not have any right to claim the property now because its already sold by a sole owner and till his death he is the only legal owner of that property once he died then the legal rights to come to his heirs. In this situation you cant go for anything.

I dont have any documents related to land except survey number. Ans:- You have right in the ancestors property. And you are a major at the time of sold. You have right to claim in this property. Contact for initial details to concern MRO for land /property details /certified copies. And file a suit in civil court.
