How to go about distribution of family owned property


29-May-2023 (In Property Law)
My GrandMother's Father passed away a few months ago leaving behind loads of property in the form of Real Estate(lots of plots and flats) and Jewelry and sadly, no Will. GrandMother has 2 more sisters so the whole property is to be divided in parts of 3 so that each get equal amount. Other two sisters live at X city while my Grandma lives at Y city which is far from X so they are pretty much lollygagging and trying to cheat us so that they can get the property all for themselves. What are the laws through which we can counter them and have the property divided as soon as possible?

According to Hindu succession act 1956 Your grandmother has statutory right in properties belongs to her father .you file a civil suit for partition of the properties by metes and bounds along with permanent injunction.According to Hindu law each co sharer of the property have share in the property irrespective of the fact that who is in possession of the property.

It does not make difference in eye of law. Only thing is that you may have to hurdle much to go other city and contest but it is not hard.
Please meet personally.
