Please note that a property cannot be without title as soon as your grandfather expired this will automatically be wasted in the legal Heirs of him

If the property is ancestral in nature no will can be made by your grandfather in favour of any person and all the legal Heirs will have equal rights on the property

If a HINDU grand father who owns any self earned property dies living the property without his WILL then such property shall be inherited in accordance with law laid down in section 8 read with heirs mentioned in class I of the schedule I who are:... Son; daughter; widow; mother; son of a pre-deceased son; daughter of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased daughter; daughter of a pre-deceased daughter; widow of a pre-deceased son; son of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son, daughter of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son; widow of a pre-deceased son of a pre-deceased son.

We suggest you that through a lawyer prepare the family settlement agreement/ partition deed, wherein you define your share/ percentage and get the same registered before sub registrar .Incase of any dispute then you will have to file a partition suit and this will take a longer period of time .

1. Since the property is owned by your grandfather it has devolved through intestate succession on his widow and all children equally within Section 8 of Hindu Succession Act.

2. The share of your father has further devolved through intestate succession on his mother, widow and all children equally.

3. Your father's legal heirs i.e his mother, widow and children are free to file a suit for partition to cull out their share in the property. Also seek injunction to restrain your uncle from dispossessing you from the property.

You, along other class 1 legal Heirs of your deceased father should file a partition suit in Civil Court for claiming your share in your grandfather's property.

Also, you should file for permanent and mandatory injunction, with interim stay against your uncle restraining him from creating any third party interest in the property or to disturb your possession in any way whatsoever.

This is my response to you:

1. First send him a legal notice;

2. Since your grandfather died intestate everybody has a claim on it;

3. Then if he does not agree then file a suit for partition in the civil court;

4. Try to claim injunction on the property and then ask the court to equally divide it;

5. Do not worry you have a share in the property as per the Hindu Succession Act.

Your grandfather's property will be equally divided into your grandmother, father, 2 uncles and bua.

Then your father's share will be equally divided into your mother, you and your brother.

Without transfer or will papers your uncle cannot claim whole property. Get succession certificate and file suit for partition.

Firslty, we have to see the nature of property as to whether it is the anscestral one or self acquired.

Secondly, if it is the self acquired then it will go as per the Succession law to all the legal heirs in the absence of any will.

Thirdly, and if they saying that they have will then I advice you to file suit for partition as Hindu Succession Act then it would be clear as to whether they have any will or not.

Fourthly, now, if the property is anscestral one then it would divide as per Law of Inheritance, and would be divided equally amongst you all.

Fifthly, here also you will have to file a suit for partition as per Law if Inheritance.

Sixthly, but, for both the process you first have to get the succession certificate from the civil court to claim your right.

Rest you are free to contact me through Kaanoon for getting your chart of each persons share in the property in both the cases.

As your grandfather died after your father, your grandfather property will go to his widow (if any), his children (your uncles and aunt) and children of predeceased son (you and your brother)

If your uncle is denying your share, then you will have to file a partition suit in court to claim your share and your brother's share

Whose property it is?

If it is lying on your deceased grandfather's name then it will devolve equally on all his legal heirs which will include your deceased father.

Thus the property can be divided into five equal parts and your family shall be entitled one such share.

Property Is Still on my Grandfather's name without any will

One of my uncle is trying to acquire all property (He always says that our grandfather had gave all property to his name before death, but whenever we ask for papers he never shows he just says you can leave without any share and we know that grandfather haven't made any will). My mother is getting high stress due to this and we want to separate now , What I can do claim our portion(me,mybrother,mymother) in property?

If that paternal uncle is creating problem, you can immediately file a partition suit and claim separate possession of your legitimate share in it.

In the same suit you can also file an application seeking to restrain the defendants from creating any encumbrance or alienating the property in any manner till the disposal of the main suit as an interim injunction
