In Ancestral Property - the property will be divided in Two Equal Shares one Share to Father and One Share to Son . Father ( Referred Deceased Male ) Share to be divided in between his wife and son - the Grand Children can also claim their respective share in the Son's Share in the Ancestral property !

If the property left behind by the deceased were his personal and self earned,it shall be shared in equal between widow and son of the deceased,the grand children can claim share only if the property in hands of deceased has origins its title from deceased's father or their ancestors.
