My grandfather passed away in 1986 and my father in 1993, both without leaving a will. My father had one sister and we are two brothers and two sisters (all married). Can my aunt’s (deceased) sons and my sisters legally claim a share of the ancestral property left by my grandfather, considering the amendments to the Hindu Succession Act in 2005?

Under the 2005 amendments to the Hindu Succession Act, your aunt’s sons and your sisters are entitled to inherit a share of the ancestral property. However, the specific share each person receives will depend on the applicable succession rules and the degree of relationship to the deceased. Consulting a legal professional is recommended to determine the exact inheritance distribution.
