To claim an ancestral property in India, verify that the asset is undivided and inherited across four generations of male lineage. Gather historical land and family records, attempt an amicable family settlement, send a formal legal notice, and file a partition suit in the local civil court if disputes persist

If the property was partitioned without including daughters, they can challenge the division by sending a legal notice to the family members asserting their rights. Should a mutual settlement fail, a suit for partition can be filed in a civil court to claim their rightful share

!!you can file a partition suit against your family members. If your brothers have shared you should also have equal rights in the same property. Initially you send legal notice to them for equal rights if they are not agreed then you file a partition suit.

If the property was ancestral/coparcenary property and it was divided only among the father and sons, the daughters may still have a right to claim their share under Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. After the 2005 amendment, a daughter has the same coparcenary rights as a son by birth. However, if a valid partition was completed before 20 December 2004 by a registered partition deed or a court decree, it generally cannot be reopened merely on the basis of the daughter’s right under the amended Section 6. Therefore, the date and nature of the earlier partition, the partition deed/decree, revenue records and other title documents must be examined. If the partition was not legally completed or was only an informal/oral arrangement, the daughter may have grounds to seek partition and separate possession through a civil suit.
