1)the newspaper article clearly mentions that daughter would not have any share in ancestral property if father died before 2005
2) if it is self acquired property of your father daughters have equal share in the property
3) merely because you met the marriage expenses of your sisterdoes not mean that sister would not have share in her father self acquired property
1. The property that belonged to your father, upon his intestate death,shall devolve equally on all his legal heirs. Therefore your siblings have rights to share in the property.
They have equal rights and the property shall be divided into six equal shares
As far as demand for share in the rent is concerned, you may reject their demand stating that you have been maintaining the house property till this date hence it is compensated.
You have wrongly heard about the law.
What you heard is about ancestral property and not of your father's intestate property.
1. If your father has died intestate then his property has devolved through succession equally on his widow and all children.
2. That you alone took care of your father in the evening of his life is no ground to deny succession to your siblings. Their share is at par with you, so they are free to file a suit for partition to cull out their respective shares.
3. The 2005 amendment relates to only ancestral property, not self acquired or separate property of a Hindu male.
