My grandfather passed away 40 years ago. My father and his siblings divided the property, selling most of their shares. We received what was left. Now, my aunts, who are 80 and 70 years old, and have been married for 64 and 50 years respectively, are claiming a share in my grandfather’s property. Can they do this after so many years? If so, how much are they entitled to, and who would be responsible for paying them?

Under Indian law, there’s no specific time limit for claiming a share in ancestral property, but significant delays can impact the claim. Your aunts’ claim depends on the specifics of the property division and their legal rights as coparceners at the time. Their claim would be against the current owners, who are likely responsible for paying any due share.
