Dear Querist,

You have to understand that a Muslim cannot make a bequest/will of more than 1/3rd of his property - in the event of a will as to all property of a man - in order for it to take effect - the legal heirs have to consent after the death of the man. Hence after your grandfather died - the will could have operated fully only if elder son as well as all other consented, since he appears to have not, the son's son's case appears to be maintainable.

Muslim Law of succession appears to bein his favour but it is dountful if law of limitation is in his favour.
