My mother has self acquired property
1 year ago
My mother has self acquired property. She has given a part of property as dhana kiriam to my father. My father passed away. My grandmother was alive. So legal heir were me, my mother and grandmother. Later my grandmother expired. We are planning to sell the property. Do we need to give share to my father's siblings?
