If the property you are talking about is ancestral and coparcenary property then on partition all the siblings shall get equal share and the grandfather himself shall also get the equal share. All the male and female descendants upto the generation of your children are coparceners in the property so upon partition all coparceners including your grandfather shall get equal portions. But we have to see whether the property you are talking about constitutes a Hindu coparcenary. If the property is self acquired property of your grandfather or even if he got it in inheritance after 1955 and your grandfather is still alive then there will not be any partition. The property shall go to the person whom your grandfather want it to go. You should make the position more clear to get proper answer.
