Dear Karthik,

As you mentioned in your query, 25 % to each of you is not correct. As all of you are five persons, each will get 20% share.

On demise of your grandmother, her 20% share will devolve upon your two uncles and two aunties and one share to your branch. So, 4% to each of your uncle and aunt.

Thanks a lot for the clarification

If my uncle and aunt are legal heirs as well, is there any provision legally to make only myself, my mother and my brothers alone as legal heirs for the said property.

if so what is the process to achieve the same

please advice
