hello experts,
my maternal grandfather had inherited and self acquired some properties during his lifetime. He died 10 years ago and left no will. He is survived by his wife (my grandma), one daughter (my mother) and one son (my maternal uncle).
Since there is no will, my maternal uncle claims he is the only legal heir, as my mother was married off to someone else and he is entitled to get all the properties in his name as he was taking care of all the properties. When, my mother asked for some share, he says that daugthers who are born before 1980 are not eligible for equal share in the property. My mother is 59 years old now.
Please advise, whether my mother is entitled to get equal share in the ancestral properties? If so, please guide me how to approach this matter legally.
thanks
