Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 22 June 2011 This query is : Resolved 
My grand father has self acquired property. He executed a will dividing his total property in to 5 parts. I share to our father and remaining to grandsons.
We are 4 grand sons through our father. My father has 4 sons and 4 daughters. Grand father demised in 1984 and our father in 1984. What will be our share from our fathers 1/5th share. our mother is alive
what is our sisters share in our father's share.
What I presume we brothers have right of 1/9th share each in his(fathers) share.i.e.,1/45 share of total property in addition to 1/5th share total 10/45 share.

Mother has 1/45 and each sister 1/45 share.
Who will get our mother's share of 1/45 ,is it divisible among 8 people i.e., 4 brothers and 4 sisters or only to sisters ?

and sisters have

Your presumption is correct.

In the fact situation given by you, you 4 brothers will get 2/9 share each of the whole property. The total property that will go to the share of the brothers would be 8/9th.

Your four sisters and mother will get 1/45th share in the whole property. In other words the sisters and mother put together will get 1/9th share.

As regard sharing mother's property, the question does not arise at this stage, as according to you, she is alive.

In the 1/5 share of your father, 4 brothers, 4 sisters and mother will get equal share i.e. 1/9 and in the share of your mother if she is alive then she can make a will in favour of anyone, if she has died then 4 brothers and 4 sisters will get equal share in her property i.e. 1/8 share to each sister and brother.
