Ancestral property means properties earned by the ancestors. Eg., father's father or grand father.
But here this property is earned by person on his individual capacity, it is his self acquired property.
Up to 3 degrees share can be claimed in the ancestral property.
When a person dies intestate then his legal heirs can claim their share in his properties, if he had made any arrangement to dispose his self acquired property in anybodies favour then such person will be absolute owner of the properties of the deceased person.
