Hi, I need your help on the following question.
My grandfather had inherited his property from his father. Before he passed away in 1955, he made a will and divided his property between my grandmother and my father. My father was a minor at that time.
My grandmother had no other children, she acquired some more property on her own.
Much after my grandfathers death, my father got married and had us children
My grandmother died inestate in the late 90"s
My question is, do we grandchildren have rights in our grandmothers portion of the property as my father is looking to dispose off the properties and leave us out of it

the property inherited by ur father by succession is not an ancestral property. So u cannot claim ur right in ur g'mother's property.

This should fall under the christian inheritance act

In christian inheritance act, there is no rule of ancestral property. The property in the hand of your father would be treated as his property only.

It is the sweet desire of your father to deal with the property though obtained through her mother as Hindu succession act is not applicable on Christians.
