How to claim right on ancestral property if no will was made


24-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
I am a male child for my father. Great grand father has died without a will. Same, my grand father died without a will. Likewise, my father as well died without a will. Still all the property is in the name of my great grand father's. Great grand father has 3 girls and 1 boy(my grand father). My grand father has 3girls and 1 boy(my father). Now my father, grand father and great grand father are now-more. Now I want to sell the property, how can this be done? Does this property has rights to girl child as well ?

The property is ancestral and hence you would have your share as a co-parcener.
Now, as per the 2005 amendment in the Hindu Succession Act, a daughter has as much right in the father's property as a son but for that benefit the father must have died after this amendment. In your case I believe your great grandfather and grandfather must have died before 2005 so the entire property would devolve to your father and after that to you entirely if you don't have any siblings.
