Share rights in property whether legally safe

Sir/Madam, My father has 4/7th of share in his father property (Totally divided into seven shares 5 daughters & 2 sons). My father recently passed away in 2007. he had got a release deed duly registered from 3 elder sisters (3 + 1 is own share= 4 shares)to his name by paying some amount before 13 years. Now is I and my mother are legally entitled for the 4/7th of share.We had also got the legal heir certificate. Please advice me. Regards Mani

Dear Mr. Manivannan,

From the facts revealed by you, it appears that  the property in question seems to be the self-acquired property of your grandfather.  Either during his time, or after his death by means of inheritance it has been divided into 7 shares between 2 sons and 5 daughters.  According to you, your father thereafter obtained registered relinquishment deeds from three sisters.  Since the relinquishment deeds are all duly registered, you are legally safe.  [But I do not know whether any consideration i.e. amount paid by your father to his sisters has been mentioned in the relinquishment deed.  In that event, it cannot be a relinquishment deed rather a regular sale.]  However, if your father had separately paid the money and got the relinquishment deed separately without linking the payment that is a different matter.

Yes in your father's share you and your mother has got equal share.

You and your mother can share the 4/7th share of your father, if you both are the only legal heirs of your father.
