Ancestral property

How can I claim my share in my grandfather's earned property. My father has not earned anything on his own but owns share in grandfather's ancestral property and land and looks like he is not ready to pass it on to me.I have two sisters also. Does my father have the right to withhold my share in my grandfathers property?

If the property is self acquired property of your grandfather then you have no right to claim share therein and if it is grandfather's ancestral undivided property then you can claim share in it by filing partition suit in court.

A grandchild, both grandson, and granddaughter have an equal share with their father in their grandfather's ancestral property. In the case of grandfather's self-acquired or separate property, a grandson will have inheritance right only when his father predeceased his grandfather.

you will have to file a suit for partition.
