My grandfather owns 45 acres of land, with 35 acres inherited from his family and 10 acres purchased using the income from the inherited land. He has no other income. Since he bought the 10 acres with the income from his ancestral land, is it considered ancestral or self-acquired property?
My grandfather had two wives. My mother is the daughter of his first wife. After my grandmother passed away, he remarried and has four children with his second wife. He’s still alive. Can my mother claim an equal share of the property with the children from my grandfather’s second wife?

The 10 acres purchased using income from ancestral land would be considered self-acquired property. As per the Hindu Succession Act, your mother, being a daughter of the first wife, has an equal right to inherit the ancestral property along with the children of the second wife.
