1. grandchildren or great-grandchildren are not required to sign the partition deed,

2. no need to sign or present,

3. no answer required

4. only three brothers are required,

I am considering the fact that the three brothers are the only First-class legal heirs,

(these three brothers have no other brother - living or deceased, sister- living or deceased, and mother)

3. The partition deed has to be among three brothers,

If ancestral property then major grandchildren signature required. 

If they are minors then court permission is required under guardian and wards Act. 

No other choice. They need to give their permission themselves or through poa. 

All legal heirs need to execute otherwise later litigation claims will arise

1) you need identity proof of the parties to partition deed like aadhar card , passport etc 

 

2) once ancestral property is divided among brothers  it ceases to be ancestral property 

 

3) property which has remained undivided for four generations is ancestral property 

 

4) children can claim share in ancestral property 

 

5) state detailed facts of your case

If great grand children are also born than every generation have share. Brothers can execute partition of 1/4rd share each and in that 1/3rd share of each, their children have share.

Their sign dose not require for partition of 1/3rd share each. Not court but sub registrar office for registration of partition deed. Their presence can be avoided.

Partition deed will draft and along with it copy of sale deed will attach through  which father had acquired the property.

After partition, it becomes self acquired property and on birth of 4th generation, property resumes ancestral status at the hand of each brother.

1. If it is your father's proeprty then your children of grandchildren are not entitled to any share in the share of the  property that you will be inheriting by this registered partition deed, hence their consent or including their names in the partition deed is not at all necessary and there is no legal infirmity in not including their names.

2. Not necessary

3. They are not necessary.

4. The three brothers who are entitled to the share out of your father's property shall be sufficient

The documents that are required to be produced address proof, PAN or Aadhar card, a photo copy and the details of original link document before partition.

Once an ancestral property is partitioned 
between the family members, it would cease to be ancestral property.

1. No documents are required to execute the partition deed.

2. After the division of ancestral property the individual share which falls in the hands of every coparcener becomes his separate property which is at par with his self acquired property.

3. The separate property would also devolve in the same manner as self acquired property if the owner dies intestate.
