Hello Sir,
I am Hindu,married man living in Kolkata.We are 2 brother and 2 sister. My father and grand father had property in patna.My grand father passed away long back and father in 2003.They dont made any Will.Next year our family divided and all my father property was transferred in the name of 2 brothers and it was registered in court.I had sell some of land and some still remains. I would like to ask you wheather
1. My sisters had still rights in property?
2. As I had heard that daughter cannot claim their father property if their age is above 65 so it is in my case.

The provision conferring right to female members as coparceners was passed in 2005 where before no state amendment was there in UP or Bihar then apparently your sisters have no right in the property divided between you and your brother by court's partition decree in 2003 or before 20 th day of December 2004.
