Father died in 1981 leaving one son and four daughters. He did not make a will. Lawyer suggested for a partition in paper. A power of attorney was issued by giving the brother power to deal with the property. Ancestral house owned by the family was made in the name of the brother with the information to the sisters. In the mean time one of the sisters died. Whether the sisters or their sons and daughters have any right to the ancestral property.

If the house stands in the name of the brighter it will be very difficult for the daughters to get their share as they will have to prove that the house was purchased in benam of their brother.
Anyway for amicable settlement mutual deed of partition is best suited method.
