Ancestral Property Ancestral Property

3 years ago

My maternal grandfather has Ancestral property. Now my grandfather and my maternal Uncles have decided to distribute to the same property among themselves and they have no intention to share any of it with my MOM and my MOM's sister(Maternal Aunty). So what is the legal procedure that my Aunt and Mom have to follow now to claim their share in property. The region(Society) where i live its considered to be completely normal to not give any of the Ancestral property to Women. So please help me out here by giving your valuable advice. (Both my Maternal grandfather and grandmother are alive)

A.Hi,
As per the ruling of the Supreme Court, daughters also have an equal right to the property. Your mom and aunt can file an application for their share in the ancestral property. The property will be divided among all the heirs equally.
