Inheritance of ancestral property dispute

Dear Experts,

I have a query regarding the rights of inheritance to ancestral property of my maternal side.

My maternal grandfather had 7 children: 5 sons and 2 daughters. My maternal grandmother died in 1995 and grandfather died in 2002, without leaving any will or so. One of the daughters, (other than my mother), also died in 1990 and the rest are living.

My maternal uncles have decided to go ahead with dividing the entire ancestral property (land, house etc) among the 5 brothers without caring to involve their sisters. My mother raised her voice demanding her rights, but they chose to ignore it claiming there was no such law.

Please advice me on the following poits:

1) Does my mother have any right over the property?

2) What legal options do I have in case they fail to listen?

3) Is there any official/legal document which I can get hold of, which should remove any doubts in their minds about the rights of the my mother? If yes, where and how can I get it?

Thanks.

Bipul
