Partition dispute on grandmothers land

Hi,

My grandmother owned a property which measures about 2400 sq.ft. She has 2 sons & a daughter. Grandmother is no more and there is a will, which is not valid. It isn't registered and also doesn't have valid signatures.

Both her sons occupies around 400 + 400 sq.ft of land in her property. Only daughter is dead recently and her daughers & son wants us to sign the paper to transfer the whole property in their name. Then they are proposing to give us back the 400 + 400 sq.ft land. I am very sure they are not going to give us the property.

The property comes under slum clearance board, Chennai & doesn't have a sale deed. What is the legal way to get this divided? The property tax, EB are paid in grandmother's name until now.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,



Learning

Grandmothers property will be divided in 3 equal parts in absence of WILL.

daughters share will be further divided among her heirs.

A will on a simple paper is valid.It need not be registered,if 2 witnesses are there it will help in probate.
