This query is : Resolved
MY GRANDFATHER DISTRIBUTED HIS SELFEARNED IMMOVABLE PROPERTY AMONGST HIS 4 SONS BY REGISTERED PARTITIONDEED IN YEAR 1955 HE ALSO ADDED HIS RESPECTIV GRANDCHILDREN AS MINOR SONS ALONG WITH THEIR RESPECTIV FATHERS, BUT HE AVOIDED PUTTING HIS MINOR GRAND DAUGHTERS NAMES IN RESPECTIV PROPERTIES.IS IT A COPARCENERY PROPERTY? AND SINCE ALL FATHERS ARE EXPIRED INTESTATE CAN THEIR ELDER DAUGHTERS CLAIM NOW FOR RESPECTIV PROPERTIES.
THANKS

The partition cannot be challenged now as it took place in 1955, i.e. before the HSA came into force. However, the daughters can claim a share in their deceased father's property / share as his heirs.

Yes. The granddaughters now have got their shares from their father, not from their randfather.

Where is the property situated?
When did the father of the minor girls (now probably major) die?
