Since your father has expired after 2005, all his properties including ancestral properties will be divided among his legal heirs in equal shares.

So in other words you along with siblings will inherit 1/5 th undivided share in the property.

So to enjoy the property in peace and without rancour execute a mutual deed of partition among yourselves.

On the demise of your father his widow and children succeeded equally to his property. The share of every heir is equal. The heirs can execute a partition deed to divide the property if there is a consensus on division, failing which any heir can file a partition suit to cull out his/her share.

1. Since your father has died intestate and assuming that the property as a self acquired property of your father, your mother, 3 brothers and your sister are entitled to equal share in the property.

2. In other words each one of you is entitled to 1/5th share in the property.

Is your grandfather alive now?

Whether the Will executed by your grandfather in your father's favor came into force as on the date of death of your father.

If yes, then the property belonged to your father and upon his intestate death all his legal heirs, i.e., his children, wife and mother shall be entitled to an equal share in the said intestate property.

Suppose your grandfather was alive as on the date of death of your father, the will executed in his favor will become infructuous and the property will remain on your grandfather alone.
