Hindu daughter's right of ancestors land if father dies before 2001

Arving Singh (Querist) 22 July 2016 This query is : Resolved
I am writing this on behalf a 60 yrs old women who is married in year 1980 in a town in Maharashtra

-------------------------------------------------------

My Father has Died in year 2001 in Amravati due to a disease

He has Ancestors Land near a village in nagpur which he has received from his father (i..e my grand father)

We are 5 sisters and 5 brother (total 10) and my mother is also alive

In year 2012 My 5 brothers sold that Land for 5 crores and divided (1 crore each) equally among them without knowledge of any sisters or mother

Now we all sisters came to know about this, when asked they said daughters don't have any right on fathers (especially ancestral) Land and legally no sister can make any claim

Is this True ?

Does daughter dont have right on ancestral

When My father was alive he said he want to give me some money after selling Land because my financial condition was weak but he died suddenly due to a disease before making any Legal Will (testament)

Let me know if this is correct ?
DO I have any right or not ?

First of all show all property related mutation record and link documents to a very able counsel specializing in revenue/family/property/civil matters and well versed with local laws for a considered opinion and confirmation if the nature of the property is ancestral.

The succession opens on date of death of owner.

The wife has equal share and if she has not disposed her share by a valid deed in her life time then after her death, her share shall devolve upon her sons and daughters.

Apparently the daughter has share.

Show all documents to local lawyer and find out whether the land satisfy the conditions of ancestral land and also discuss the line of action.
