Daughters right in ancestral property.

Sanjeev Srivastava (Querist) 22 June 2010 This query is : Resolved
Hi!

My maternal grandmother had a property in her name which is actually ancestral property of her husband, who died in 1966 and the property got transferred in her name. She died in Aug. 2008 and left behind three married daughters, no son. After her death in Aug.,2008 the sons of my grand father's brothers, who co-owned the enire ancestral property, claiming that there is no heir to my grandmother property, got the propertry transferred in their names.

Is it legal?
Can daughters claim for their mother's property as she had died?

If so, what is the process to do so?

Mr maternal grand mother made a registered will in favour her three daughters specifying that her property should be equally divied among them.

Please reply and help.

Thanking you,

Sanjeev Srivastav

The daughters can claim the properties on the bases of the will.

Thanks for the reply Madam. As they are legal heir, can't the transfer of property done by cousins be challenged?
