You should hire a legal representative to respond to the notice since they will be able to guide you better than anybody else. However, if the man dies intestate, his estate will be divided equally among all class 1 heirs, regardless of the amount already paid to any of them.
If you find this answer helpful please rate my answer. Thank You.

After your grandfather's death without having any Will,his property has been devolved upon his widow and seven children each having undivided one-eighth share therein. Therefore,each of those daughters being entitled to undivided one-eighth share therein is entitled to claim Partition of that property and is entitled to file Partition Suit for declaration,partition and injunction against transfer as well as status quo for not to change the nature and character of the property.
If your grandmother predeceased your grandfather, then Grandfather's property has been devolved upon his seven children each having undivided one-seventh share therein. Therefore,each of those daughters being entitled to undivided one-seventh share therein is entitled to claim Partition of that property and is entitled to file Partition Suit for declaration,partition and injunction against transfer as well as status quo for not to change the nature and character of the property.
It is necessary to scrutinize the documents as well as Notice sent from Court for guiding you regarding the steps which you have to follow in this regard.
