Reading: My grandfather passed away two years ago without leaving a will. His property is now shared by my grandmother, her three sons (including my father), and two daughters. We all agreed to sell the property, but one uncle opposes the sale. The property is undivided, and we need to sell it to get our share. Can we request a partition so each heir can use their share as they wish? The property includes a house and some land behind it. It’s small but valuable, worth around â‚¹2 crores. How can it be divided fairly?

Yes, you can file a partition suit in court to divide the property among the heirs. The court will appoint a commissioner to divide the property fairly, considering its value and ensuring each heir receives a share proportionate to their inheritance. The division can be by physical partition of the land and house or by sale and division of proceeds.
