As per Hindu Succession Act, if the male dying intestate, the property will be distributed as per Sec.8. If the female dying intestate, it will be distributed as per sec.15. Please contact a lawyer with all the required documents.

It will go to Mrs A siblings and the property will be divided equally among the two and if they do not claim the property then Mr. A siblings will get equal share in the proeprty.

For this a case should be file in the court for Probate and then the court will decide the legal heir.
