Property in the hands of your mother  and father  is self-acquired. They can deal with it as they want. In their life time they can transfer the  entire property to anyone. They can also execute a joint or individual will and bequeath the  property to anyone including you and your kids. After father  and mother without any will, property will devolve on you and in your hands it is ancestral property, conferring rights  on your kids to claim share in the  property. Daughter have equal share in the  property with son.

1. Since the property is self acquired property of your parents, during their lifetime, no-one would have any rights over the property, including your 2 kids.

2. If the property were to be Ancestral Property, then only your two kids had right since birth. But in the instant case, it's your parents' self acquired property and your kids will not have any right over it in the present circumstances.

3. There's no right in the instant case irrespective of whether it's grandfather or grandmother's property.

4.  In the instant case, no right accrue to grandson or granddaughter.  However, if it were to be Ancestral Property, both grandson and granddaughter shall have equal right.

- As per law , none having right to claim any share in the self acquired property of your parents during their life time.

- Further, as this property was purchased by your parents then it will not considered ancestral property for your kids.

- A property which is acquired by a great grandfather and passed down undivided to the next three generations up to the present generation of great grandson/granddaughter known as ancestral property . 

- Further, in other words an Ancestral property is the one which is inherited up to four generations of male lineage without dividing and partitioning the property by the previous three generations.
