1) debts due and payable by your grand father have to be paid from the estate of your grand father

2) 3 immovable properties would have to be divided among the legal heirs .

3) enter into deed of family settlement with your aunts

1. Well, if your aunts are not ready listed then filing a suit for partition is only option left.

2. in the partition suit you claim your share on the line your grandfather verbally instructed to which your aunts initially consented resulting in verbal partition.

3. I may further inform that verbal partition is as good as written partition and hence legally valid if proved properly.

Though these days the liability of the deceased shall not fall on the shoulders of the legal heirs, morally all those people claiming legitimate share in the property should share the liability too.

Tell your aunts to share the liability too if they want proper partition.

1. Since your grandfather died intestate his surviving heirs i.e his children succeeded equally to all his properties.

2. After the demise of your father you succeeded to his share in the property of your grandfather.

3. If a consensus on division of property is reached among you and your paternal aunts then the division can be done amicably through execution of a partition deed or family settlement.

4. Your aunts have an indefeasible share in the property, which they can cull out through a court enforced partition.

5. It is not clear as to what are the liabilities of your grandfather.
