My grand mother died intestate in 1993 when she was 90 years. She has left behind landed property and a house in Palakkad district, Kerala. Property was acquired by her in 1940. Her 9 children ( 5 are alive) and grand children want to go for partition. I need advise on the queries raised below.
1. Since she died in 1993, will law of Marumakkathayam be applicable or will it be under Hindu Succession Act 1956.
2. My grand mother's children and grand children put together there are about 25 members. Please advise if the property will be divided among 8 children or 25 members including children and grand children.
Your expert opinion is awaited.
Many Thanks
