Ancestral property

i belong to hindu family
my grandfather expired in 1995 leaving a house and open space(self earned ) attached to it without making any will
leaving 9 children... 4 sons 5 daughters and his wife (grandmother )

my father being eldest left us in 2010 and grandmother left in 2012
now the house is occupied by my 2uncles who have been staying there since birth
now as the time has passed the legal heirs including the grandsons have felt the need for partition
but the papers are with one of the daughter who claims that she was looking after the goodwill of the house so not letting to proceed
my query is
1 .how to retrieve the papers from her
2. are daughters equally entitled to share
3. how can we take the documents from local muncipal if possible ..and know the current status
4. can she tamper tarnish or forgery the documents ..or create fake will

5 . i being grandson how much i am entitled ....my demised father has left behind his wife ...me ..my 2 sisters ..total 4

In the title of query you have posted that:

'it is ancestral property'

In the body of query/your 1st post you have posted that:

'it is self earned property'

What exatcly it is?

Believing that it is self earned/acquired and you are Hindu:

Your father' share is 1/10th from grandfather's share and equal share for your grandmother and other children.

Your father' share is 1/9th from grandmother's share.

Your share is 1/4th from your father's share.

The property documnets can be obtained from authority under whose jurisdiction the property falls.

Forgery is offence.
