Ancestral Property
7 months ago
Hi,
I am from Kolkata.
My grandfather had 6 sons and 3 daughters. He died before 1947.
Question 1 - will my aunts get their share in the property?
Question 2 - Is there any other option to get my father's share of the property without filing partition suit?
A.Dear Client,
Answer to Question 1: Yes, your aunts are entitled to a share in the property of your grandfather. The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, which governs the inheritance of property among Hindus, was amended in 2005 to give daughters the same rights as sons in the ancestral property
Therefore, your aunts have an equal right to inherit the property of your grandfather along with their brothers.
Answer to Question 2: If you do not wish to file a partition suit, you can explore other legal options to get your father's share of the property. One option is to negotiate with your siblings and other legal heirs to reach a settlement. You can also consider mediation or arbitration to resolve the dispute amicably
However, if these options do not work, you may have to file a partition suit to claim your share of the property. It is important to note that the partition suit can be a lengthy and expensive process, and it is advisable to seek legal advice before taking any legal action

A.Dear Sir,
Yes your aunts will get share in the property if they go to court but it will not take less than one decade time. secondly you may go for family settlement without filing partition suit.
