My great-grandfather was granted a shop by the Land and Development Authority in 1965. He passed away in 1982. In 1996, the property was transferred to my grandfather’s name, even though there was no will. My grandfather received inheritance from his two sisters. He died in 2006 without a will. My father acquired a relinquishment deed from his two sisters and three children of his deceased third sister and sold the property. My father and my brother received the money legally through banking channels. I am married now. Can I claim a share of the property? Who should I claim from? What portion can I claim? How do I file my claim? What type of claim is this? Is this ancestral property? How long would the case take?

Based on your description, the property likely passed through inheritance and subsequent transactions, making it difficult to claim a share. As you were not a direct heir to your grandfather, your claim is unlikely to be successful. You should consult a lawyer specializing in property inheritance laws in India to assess your specific situation and potential legal options.
