joint ownership of DDA residential flat

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 July 2010 This query is : Resolved
Mrs. X and Mr. Y are husband and wife, and are joint owner of their residential flat. This flat is their self acquired property. Both have 4 children - two sons and two daughter.

Mr. Y died without making a Will in anyone's favour. Now what is the status of Mr. Y share , as the nature of the ownership of flat is joint ownership.
My Query is --
A) What mechanism will decide Mr. Y share, in absence of any agreement?
B) Will the flat devolve upon the other owner who is the wife of Mr. Y, automatically?
C) Will that share of Mr. Y in the joint ownership devolve upon the all legal heirs of Mr. Y?
D) Mrs. X wants that the flat should be transfered to the two sons of Mr. Y only, excluding the two daughter, Can she do that?
