who are the hiers if my father died without any will

laconic (Querist) 29 September 2009 This query is : Resolved
Here's the situation :
My mother had died in 1993. I and my sister are her 2 children. After the death of my mother, my father re-married in 1994. My step-mother got 3 children of her own (1 son and 2 daughters). But my father also died in 2004. He left no will or nominee with regards to properties. All these properties are in the name of my father. I want to ask how the property 'll be divided among survivors (which includes me, my sister, my step-mother and her 3 children). My grandmother/grandfather are no longer alive.
Kindly help. I live in new delhi and all properties in question are in delhi itself. I need genuine and complete legal advice.
I belong to a hindu brahmin family.

You, your sister , your step mother and her 3 children will get 1/6th share each in the properties.
Ur step mother and her children also the legal heirs of your deceased father.
