Under these circumstances, the Class 1 heirs of your father shall inherit the property. However, to obtain the same, a lot of Legal formalities have to be completed, hence further and better particulars are needed for an effective opinion.

Section 105(1) in The Indian Succession Act, 1925

Query peruse. As per Section 105 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (1) If the legatee does not survive the testator, the legacy cannot take effect, but shall lapse and form part of the residue of the testator’s property, unless it appears by the Will that the testator intended that it should go to some other person.
Since your father died before the testator (Your Aunt) the legacy lapses. For further consultancy and legal services you may contact us.
