Hello,

The decaesed grand mother's share will be equally divided between her one daughter (since deceased her 2 sons) and other 4 childrens. So grandsons will get 1/5th part and other 4 children will get 1/5th part each.

Dear Querist,

In case a person dies without leaving a will, in such cases the assets would be distributed according to the law based on his/her religion.

In the Hindu Succession Act, the rules governing the distribution of the assets in case of intestate death of a female are different as compared to the intestate death of a male. According to the Act, the first right on her assets will be of her husband, son and daughter, including the grandchildren but only in case the children are not alive.

In this case the property would be divided equally amongst the children and two grandchildren.

Regards,

Palak

Share of deceased daughter of the lady i.e, grandmother shall devolve amongst her (daughter's) legal representatives as per daughter's personal law.
