My father has 3 younger brothers. Two of them were unmarried and passed away without a will. Only one unmarried brother is alive. Our family owns 10 pieces of land, each with individual documents, inherited from our ancestors. My father’s brother and I want to sell this land. Under the Hindu Succession Act of 1956, am I considered a legal heir to the deceased brothers’ share of the land, and can I claim an equal share in their property?

Yes, under the Hindu Succession Act of 1956, you are considered a Class I legal heir to your deceased uncles’ property, as their nephew. You are entitled to an equal share of their land along with your father and surviving uncle, subject to any applicable inheritance laws and the deceased uncles’ ancestral property.
