My stepmother died leaving 50 cents of land without assigning it to anyone. She had no offsprings but had brothers and sisters at the time of death. Later, after they also died, my father got the land assigned in his name through a verification by the Tahsildar, saying that her relatives were no more. After that he was paying tax for this in his name even though he had no title deeds. Later he donated 25 cents of it to a charity organisation through a will. He died later without any will for the remaining 25 cents. Now a dispute has arisen whether the property belongs to the stepmother's brothers' sons and daughters or father's children in first marriage.Which is legally valid? We are Christians. Kindly help
