Who will be the next successor of the property
2 years ago
We are 2 brothers and 4 sisters. All are married. I am the younger brother. Elder brother and his wife expired recently. They don't have any son/daughter. Even my parents expired long back. They have a flat , so who should be the legal heir to that property. Will the property be distributed ?
As per the Hindu Succession Act, the property of your brother who died interstate would be distributed amongst all the siblings, ie. 1 surviving brother and two sisters.
If you like my answer, please rate me.

The distribution of property will depend on a number of factors including the statute which you are involved in, and the nature of the property as well. You should visit a lawyer and then create a family tree to understand the legal heirs to the property.
Thank you. Kindly rate the answer.
