We follow marumakkathayam in Palghat. Ancestral property inherited was partitioned in 1976. I would like to know the law relating to division of ancestral inherited property among familty members, the proceedure to be followed like whether the bhagapathram to be registered, requirement of witnesses, whether it should be equally devided or some one can get more and if so under what circumstances and the rules framed for division/partition.

There is no requirement of registration if the division is mutually agreed to all. A family settlement deed need not registration.
