All the children of A have succeeded to the property if he died intestate, who have the right to file a suit for partition to cull out their share in the property and also to apportion the income from the property among all the heirs. The arrears of income can be recovered by K, L and M,

Upon the intestate death of a, the entire 5 acres of land standing on the name deceased A shall devolve equally upon all his legal heirs from 1 to 10 mentioned in your question. In that No.1, i.e., Mrs. C only has died, however her own legal heirs consisting of her husband (if alive), her children shall be entitled to inherit her 1/10th share in the 5 acres of property that had been left behind by A upon his intestate death.

First try for an amicable partition involving all the people entitled to their respective shares in the property, if this is not possible, the aggrieved party can approach court of law seeking partition and also can claim a share out of the mesne profits derived from the landed property.

Hi, as per law, once the partition is effected, the property obtained by a person in partition becomes an absolute property of the person who gets it in partition. This is a per hindu succession act enacted in 1956. By virtue of partition deed effected i [deleted] and virtue of hindu succession act( an act which consolidates all previously existing property laws), the property obtained by A will be his

absolute property(not ancestral property) and all his legal heirs(including daughters) will be entitled to equal shares.

K, L and M can file for partition of property and also claim mesne profits(rents if any from date of filing of suit till decree).
