My grandmother passed away recently and our ancestral property was divided between my father and uncle. My father has decided not to take his share. How can I claim my rightful portion of the property?

As per Indian law, you can inherit your grandmother’s property through your father, as he is your legal heir. Since your father has renounced his share, you can claim your portion through a legal process known as ‘inheritance by representation’. This will involve filing a succession certificate and proving your relationship with your grandmother and father.
