Title of the property

The father left a  "WILL" that on his demise, the ground floor of  his self acquired property in New delhi shall go tto his daughter,and he first floor & terrace of the property shall go to his son. The Faher expired in the year 1997. The son has been dodging the proposal of his sister about mutation/ freehold of the property for whatever reasons best known to him.The built up area  on the ground floor/ first  floor was exactly in ratio of  50:50.at the time of fathers expiry in 1997.

Subsequently, the son built up additional area on the second floor without any MCD sanction, making the built up area raio on the ground floor and on the first +second floor becoming  40:60.

Q1 As the mutation has not been done over the last 13 years neither  in the name of the son, nor in the name of daughter. Can this property will be considered ancestral, giving legal rights to all  the grand children of  the father?

Q2.Can the daughter ask for 50% share in the property, as the additional construction buillt by her brother being illegal addition without any sanstion.

Ans no.1:  The property cannot be called as ancestral just because there is no mutation for 13yrs in their respective names. 

Ans no.2 : The daughter can ask for her share in the property  as described in the will only. She cannot ask for share in  the extended construction of her brother's share even if it is illegal construction. She can only complain that the construction was illegal.

Suchitra is right, the will describes the area of the property therefore additional construction is not concerned.
