Query regards maternal granfathers property

Hello,

I have a query regards my maternal grandfather's(mothers father) property.

My mother is the ONLY daughter for my grandfather. My grandfather died recently. The query here is - Since grandfather did not write any will, how will the property be shared between my parents and us?

I heard that the grandsons are the legal heirs of the grandfathers property. Is this so?

Thanks.

During your mother's lifetime you do not have any right over such property, and in absence of other heirs to your maternal grandfather - mother remains the exclusive owner, you'd have rights only after her demise.

I agree with Adv. Bharat Chugh

Hello Bharat,

Thanks for your response.

In the statment in absence of other heirs to your maternal grandfather can you please clarify who would be the heirs. My mother is the only daughter of my grandfather.

Will my father have any rights on the grandfathers property during or after my mothers lifetime?

Thanks.
