Either you talk about your wife's side or your side.

You are quite confusing - one time you talk about your wife's grand father - next time you are talking about your brothers etc.

Come clean.

it is self acquired property of grand father . on demise of his sole legal heir ie your father all his children will have equal share in the property . in other words each brother , sister has 1/6th share in the property .

It seems the property is of wife's grand father (expired without any will) and her father (only Legal heir of wife's grand father) expired without a will. Wife's father is having 3 sons and 3 daughters all married.

If so, daughters have equal share in the property like sons have.

Dear Sir, Anirudha. Thanking you my problem is resolved. I was talking for my wife share. The property (3 Houses) was purchased by her Grand father he was died without making any will. Her father and mother were also expired without any will. My wife is three brothers and three sisters. There is no any other relation from her father/ Grand father side. So my wife is entitled for 1/6 share from property.

1. This is not called ancestral property,

2. This property has been self acquired by your wife's grandfather and after his demise, intestate, the property was owned by your wife's father,

3. After the demise of your father-in-law, the property will be equally shared by all his 6 legal heirs
