The property shall be transferred as per personal succession laws of the deceased and his/her legal representatives. No facts have been posted for this academic topic to make it a real problem for consideration and obligation of experts on this platform.

First, have an idea of what is an ancestral property, then arrive at who are the other co-sharers. Unless the property is divided in metes and bounds with specific allocation to each co-sharer, a co-sharer can not transfer any property and such transfers are treated as illegal and may even fraudulent.

Simply stated, the rights of the stakeholders in an ancestral property are decided on a per-stripe basis and not on a per-capita basis. If Ram has two brothers, their ancestral property will first be divided into three shares. The share of each brother can then be divided among their offspring and so on.
