Ancestral Property

Dear all,

I require legal opinion on my grandfather Ancestral Property.

Case History

My Grandfather had only one daughter married. She had two sons me and my brother. My Mother Expired on 1992 and My Mothers Mother expired on 1990. My GrandFather Expired on 2000. After My mothers death My grandfather is been taken care by My Grandfathers Brother. In 1997 my grandfather wrote a will in which he mentioned the entire Property is been given to his brother and we are not the legalar for the property.

1. My Grand father Property is not Self earned it is coming from his Fathers Father. 

My Question whether we will win Case If we file case claiming the property rights.

As per amedment introduced in Hindu Succession Act, female co-parceners. i .e daughters are equally entitled to a share by birth as that of male members. However, the said provision won't affect or invalidate any disposition or alienation including any partition or testamentary disposition which had taken place before 20th december 2004. In your case the will was made in 1997 and then ur mother having been married cased to a member of HUF. Hence,  u can not claim any right in the property in her branch. U can contest the will, but chances are few given the statutory position.
