Hi We have a ancestral property in Udupi belonging to my Grandfather.
Both grandfather and grandmother have passed away.
My Grand parents had 9 childrens - 5 boys and 4 girls. (2 boys and 2 girls currently surviving)
The ancestral property is currently under the posssion of the elset son's family (eldest son has passed away)
Kinldy let me know thefollowing:
1. Is the share of each is determined based on the generation / number of current persons in the family. i.e to say if 9 brothers and sisters have around 40 children will there be 40 divisions or will it be 9 division first and then respective shares to their own childrens.
2. Do all the children need to be present at the time of division of property to give their consent..Some of the brothers are insiting that all of them need to be present. They are insiting this only with a view to disrupt the division of property as it will be difficult to assembel evey one together on multiple occassions. If that is the case is there a way out
3. One of the daughter in laws is a widow and has got married outside of family again, will she also be entitled to the share in property
Please let me know the details of the rules which applies and respective sections.
