Dear Querist,

You've not mentioned the nature of property. Assuming it to be ancestral - this is how the shares would vest. 

Lets assume before the death of Father - property was held by Father/4 sons & 2 daughters in 1/7th share each. After father's death - his 1/7th share further gets divided in sons, daughters and his widow - each taking 1/7th share each. Now when the mother dies her 1/7th share goes out to all the children. 

Now 4 brothers hold - 1/7th + 1/7th of 1/7th + 1/7th of 1/7th - and so do the sisters. 

on the death of second sister - her children take - 1/2 each of share held by her at the time of her death. 

 

Feel free to seek any clarifications.

 

Best of Luck !

The Nature of the property is Self Acquired

in case its a self acquired property, the same would devolve amongst the children and the share of deceased sister be equally divided between her two children.

As their is no WILL for self-acquired propery,

The property will be divided in 6 equal parts,for 4 sons & 2 daughters now.

The deceased daughter's share will be divided half each between her daughters.
