Grandmother means - paternal or maternal?

Depending upon your answer, whether your father/mother (who is the son/daughter of your grandmother) is alive or not?

If alive, you cannot claim any share.

The property was owned by your Grandmother and under the Hindu Succession Act,1956 the property of Hindu woman who dies intestate, without making Will shall devolve firstly to her children, in case your parents are alive, you cannot get share in that property if your parent (son or duaghter of your grandmother as the case may be is alive).

You have not posted; which personal law applies in this case?

Or are you all Hindu?

The grandmother is Paternal ( Daadiji) or Maternal ( Naaniji)?

Your father, mother were alive as on date of death of your Grandmother?

Confirm!

The property from mother’s side is not ancestral.

Otherwise also;

Ancestral Property; should be four generation old…….in other words  property acquired by the Hindu great grand father, which then passes undivided down the next three generations up to the present generation of great grand son/daughter.

It should not have been divided by the users in the joint Hindu family as once a division of the property takes place, the share or portion which each Coparcener gets after the division becomes his or her self acquired property.

Self acquired property can become ancestral property if it is thrown into the pool of ancestral properties and enjoyed in common.

Even if claim the funds were provided by Grandfather the nature of property may not necessarily be ancestral.

Succession opens on date of death.

Grandmother being title holder her legal heirs e.g; sons, daughters shall share it as per provisions of personal law that applies in this case…

Grandchildren have NO forced share in self acquired estate/property of grandparents.

So you may not have any share in property left by your grandmother..

IN case your Father/Mother (depending upon grandmother is Paternal ( Daadiji) or Maternal ( Naaniji)) have deceased without disposing their share in property left by grandmother then you may a have  a share………………as per provisions of personal law that applies in this case…

 

The property that devolves by inheritance is of nature self acquired therefore your Father/Mother can dispose their share in said property of grandmother in their life time without any consent from you..
