This is my response to you:

1. Yes the brothers of your grandmother can stake a claim;

2. This is as per the law laid down in Hindu Succession Act;

3. The brother of your grandmother survived your grandmother and therefore they get the share in her share of property;

4. Rest all will be divided between children of your father and other Class I legal heirs.

hello

your father's siblings, whether bro or sis, have a share in the ancestral property. your father's mother did have a share even if she didn't claim it. her share would go to your father and his siblings.

1. As per law, the mother of your father shall equally inherit share of your deceased father's properties along with your mother and all the children of your father being two brothers.

2. It is not necessary for your grandmother to claim her share of your deceased father's properties. She inherits it automatically.

1. Sections of Act have been enacted by the Parliament and we shall have to follow it.

2. In our society mostly old mothers are widow and dependent on their sons and can be thrown out by their son's own family members in case of untimely demise of their sons.

3. However, we shall have to comply with the provisions of law.

In my opinion, if your father's mothe did not claim her share out of her deceased son's property during her lifetime, then the said share of property, after her lifetime shall revert to her deceased son's other legal heirs.

property of my father are all self earned. why the law is like that if son died before mother , mother has share in son's property and if son died after mother then mother has no share in son's property. thank you.

The law was framed keeping several issues in mind hence it would not be wise to ask questions about the provisions of law without understanding the law/.

Dear Sir,

The legal heirs of her deceased son shall inherit the share of her deceased son out of her share on the property. 1. Mother is a class 1 heir to her son who predeceases her, 2. On the demise of son his property devolved on his widow, mother and children. Please refer the law.

Under Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the property of a Hindu male dying intestate would be given to heirs within Class I.

Class I Heirs ;1) Mother 2) Widow 3) Daughter 4) Son 5) Widow of predeceased son 6) Son of a predeceased son 7) Daughter of a predeceased son 8) Widow of a predeceased son a predeceased son 9)Daughter of a predeceased son of a predeceased son 10) Daughter of a predeceased daughter, and 11) Son of a predeceased daughter
