can Daughters inherit ancestral property

5 years ago

I am from Hindu Family staying at Maharashtra. My Grandfather died in 1974 and Grandmother in 1970. She was 2nd wife of my grandfather. My Grandfather had 1 son and 2 daughters from 1st wife & 5 sons and 3 daughters from 2nd wife. Out of these 11 siblings, 1 elder son and 1 elder daughter died before 1974. Birth of all these siblings are before 1945 and all are married before 1974. At the time of my grandfather’s death, he had 400 Guntha land which spread over in 4 survey numbers and 30 parts. (e.g. 2,6,24,2,24,9,4 Guntha etc). My Grandfather had not prepared any`Will’. Till date, partition of this land is not been carried out. At present, 5 sons who were alive at the time of my grandfather’s death and their family members are utilising this land for farming. My Question is: Since, my grandfather died in 1974 and his daughters are born before 1945, can `children of daughters’ claim? If they have rights, what percentage they can claim? How can partition of this land be done?
