Hello I'm Sandesh from bangalore. My question to the judicial experts, my grandfather passed away leaving his self earned property without any will. He has 4 children including my father. My father is younger sibling to my 2 aunts, the eldest aunt is no more and my second aunt is a widow. My father have a younger brother who is still a bachelor. My questions are as follows
1. My father has got 2 children including my sister and myself, what right have we got on our grandfather's property? Are we entitled with equal rights as my father, aunts and my uncle have on the property?
2. Since my eldest aunt is dead, does my eldest cousins who are two in number ( one male one female) from my eldest Aunt have any claim or right on the property. Only my brother is asking for a claim on behalf of his dead mother, we don't know the whereabouts of my cousin sister, how much of a right do they have on the property?
3. My second aunt who is a widow claims for equal rights as my father or his younger brother have on the property, is it right? How much of a right does she really have?
4. Since my father's younger brother who is still a bachelor, can he exercise extra rights on the property?
5. How does the partition happen? If my father wants to sell the property and distribute then, how should it be distributed? Is there a proportion?
Please let me know.

The property is self-earned. All the siblings have equal share. The same principle applies to the property vested with the aunt who has expired.
