A.Dear client,

Ancestral property refers to a property which has been held by a family member for than 4 generations without being separated or divided.

If your grandfather had got his share without being undivided or partitioned, the property would qualify as ancestral property. If your grandfather had partitioned amongst your father's siblings, please note that the property wouldn't qualify as ancestral.

Thank you
