Rights of grandson in maternal grandfather's self acquired property


19-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)

My maternal grandfather (nana) purchased a house in 1968. My mother got married in 1985 and I was born in June 1986. However, my mother expired in Dec. 1986. Thereafter, my Nana expired in 2014 without any will. My mother's brother (mama) and his family are currently in possession of the residential house. My mama is now in planning to sell this house and is reluctant to share the sale proceeds with me. I wanted to know if legally, I have any right in this property and can file a case to stop my mama or claim my share. Please help.

You can surely file a case as since your grandfather died without a will you shall acquire a right in this property. Also since the property is self acquired, you and your mother shall have a right in it in accordance with the hindu succession act

Yea offcourse .. You certainly have a right to get an equal share in the property like your mama.. It is best to file a suit for partition before he sells of trhe property and take a stay order from the court . A son of a pre deceased daughter is a class1 legal heir and shares equally with other class one heirs .
