Rights of grand children on the property of maternal grandfather


10-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
My mother died before her father's demise. Her father purchased a property. My mother was having 9brothers and sisters. One of my maternal uncle was occupying the house. Understand there was no will and partition deed have not been done. Now the said property has been given to builder on development. Can we have a claim on the said property as grand children and my mother expired before my grand father expired. I need your advice. Thanks

Hi
Yes you do have a claim in the property. Your mother was a legal heir to your father and may or may not have died before her father. Your mother had an equal share as that of her other brothers and sisters. After your mother, you and your siblings have a share. In fact, the property should not have been given for development without ypur consent, if your grandfather has died without a will, as you are a co owner.

yes you can claim. If there is no will you can claim the property share. Also does your grand father has made any will. Who is holding the porperty papers. How many people still wants the same property.

Assuming it is a Hindu family, yes you can. While it may take longer and be a tough fight, it can be done. Daughters / women have a right to ancestral property. We have filed several suits for partition of Property and assisted in rights of women being claimed from their families.
