Grandfather of my wife's friend died intestate in 1955 prior to Hindu succession act 1956, came into force.He had 3 sons and a daughter all of whom are no more.His house, which is not so far alienated in any way, presently occupied by one of the male cousins of this lady, is planned to be sold.The only other 3rd generation male is this lady's brother. Does the lady have a legal share in the property? If yes, what is her share?

Since the original owner died prior to the act of 1956 the daughter is not entitled to any share and only 3 sons and the children of the 3 sons are eligible for share.

Does the date of marriage of the female heirs (Sons' daughters) affect their entitlement?
