Grandfather's property share between grandsons of two wives

Hi,

I am from A.P. My cousin's grandfather had two wives. He is the grandson of first wife, She had expired some 55 years ago. My cousin's father had also expired 8 years ago. His grandfather doesn't want to give a single property( some of it is inherited and some of his own earnings) of his to my cousin. Recently 1 year back he changed all his properties on his name to his second wife's name. Can my cousin file a suit for his share, since now all the property is on his grandfather's second wife.

The second wife has three sons. and the first only one son.If my cousin could file a suit, how much percentage of property does he inherit.

Thanks in advance for your valuable replies.

Presuming your cousin is a Hindu.

 

Your cousin's Grandpa cannot deny the share of Ancestral properties which has devolved upon your cousin's father the moment he was born. The grandpa’s 2nd wife’s children also get equal share in your cousin’s grandpa’s ancestral property. And you cannot legally stop him from giving away his self-acquired property to anyone he wants. Now that your cousin’s father is deceased, his father’s share of the inherited property belongs to your cousin i.e. your cousin gets  1/4th of his grandpa’s ancestral property (what he inherited from his forefathers).

 

Ask your cousin to file a suit for partition immediately.
