The parsons holding interest in the property has to share the sale proceeds in the proportion of their interest in the property and there should be documentary evidence to this effect. You can approach any experienced Income Tax lawyer or C.A. who will examine the docs and other evidences and suggest you on the tax liablity and procedure of compliance including scope of tax planning if any.
