What is 7/12 mean?

If your grandfather did not write a WILL AND property was *NOT* partitioned as of 2005 then your fathers sister will also be eligible. The exact share will depend upon if property is considered ansestral and who are part of the co-parcenary (you will also have a share).

Please also wait for experts to respond for a more proper direction.

Dear Prashant ji,

What do you mean by 7/12, it would be easier for others to answer if you clear this.

Village form no. 7/12 is a record of rights maintained by revenue authorities under the Bombay land Revenue Code. It contains the details of land alongwith details of owners, particulars of mutation entries made so far,and encumbrances if any in the column of other rights. It also has the tenure of the said mentioned at the top. if there are orders of civil courts, bank loans or any kind of charges they reflect in column of other rights.
