A.Dear Client,

An individual acquires the right to ancestral property by birth, typically referring to property inherited for four or more generations. According to Hindu inheritance law, a legal heir or coparcener is inherently entitled to an equal share in ancestral property from birth, alongside other legal heirs. In the case of grandchildren from maternal grandmothers, you have the right to claim the share of your deceased mother. Section 6 of India's Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 stipulates that the natural guardian for a Hindu minor boy or unmarried girl is the father, followed by the mother. If minor children are entitled to property through inheritance or other means, your father, acting as your natural guardian under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act of 1956, can assert the share of your deceased mother in the maternal ancestral property on your behalf.

A.Dear Client,
An individual gets the right to ancestral property by birth. Typically, ancestral property refers to property that has been inherited for four or more generations. As per the Hindu law of inheritance, a legal heir or coparcener is entitled to an equal share in the ancestral property by birth along with other legal heirs. You being grandchildren of your maternal grandmothers entitled to claim the share of your deceased mother. Section 6 of India's Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 provides that the natural guardian of a Hindu minor boy or unmarried girl is the father, and only after him, the mother. If minor children are entitled to receive property by inheritance or otherwise, your father being your natural guardian under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act of 1956, can claim the share of your deceased mother of that maternal ancestral property on behalf of you.
