Ancestral property inheritence

My biological father's younger brother adopted me when I was 12 year old. Currently I am 25 year old. My grandfather is no more and my grandmother is living. My grandfather divided his property among his sons by giving gift before death. So my ancestral property is currently in the name of my legal father and mother. I wish to know how can I obtain it right now i.e. before death of either of them.


Thanks for the knowledge!

If your grandfather have gifted it to your father then you have no share in it right now so as to obtain it now.

By the gift the property becomes seperate property of your parents during their lives they can do whatever they desire with the property, however if they die leaving out no will. You get a share of property by inheritance being Class I legal heir.

First Whether the Properties which you Grand Father Gifted to his sons ws acquired by himself or was it inherited from his fore fathers.   If it was so, he has not right on such properties to gift any ody. All lenientdescendants have equal rights in such properties, else it is very bad luck on your part.

Ah! There is a point. I'll confirm. But I guess some part of the property was inherited by my grandfather and some earned. So, can I challenge gift by my grandfather to his son, that part of property which he inheirted but not earned? And then possibly get my share in that property even if my father is still alive?

If your parents sell off that property and use it during their subsistence, you will have nothing to do.  If they die intestate, you will get a share.  If they leave a will in favor of anybody other than you, then also you are eligible for a share, as it is not a self acquired property.

Yes, since this is ancestral property, each of your daughters have a share equal to each of your sons.  If you are unwilling to give your daughters, they can take legal action against you.

you cannoy will away the entire property, only your coparcenary interest.

Daughters have rights on property inherited by father from his father, at par with the sons.
