How to divide the properties

P.Muthusamy (Querist) 22 February 2009 This query is : Resolved
My mother had left 21 house plots, 20 plots having an area of 5 and half cents and one plot of area 6 cents.

All plots have the same value of Rs. 20,000 per cent.

We are 5 sons and 5 daughters.

I am the third among the sons.

Mother had left no will.

I am of the opinion that the properties should be equally divided among the 10 members.

I have obtained the leagal heirs certificate from the revenue department.

But my elder brothers are against this 10 divisions.

They don,t want to give shares to their sisters.

Their argument is that for their marriages
enough amount had been spent.

But the expenditure was done while my mother was alive.

My contention is that If we, including the mother, had spent money, the properties my mother could have been well sold during the life time of my mother and the amount could have been realised with the wishes of mother. But having the mother expired,(10 years had elapsed after the expiry of my mother) and having not written any will, it is too late to deicide other wise. Now there is no other go except partition among the 10.

Because of this dispute, we are not in a position to transfer the properties in the individual names.

My question is ,"Is there any way without going to court, to get my 1/10 th share, (not 1/5 the share), with out bothering about others.

Kindly note that leaving the 6 cent plot, can I transfer two plots in my name which is of equal area and value as other plots.
Learned experts please advice.
Thanking you,
