Can ancestral property be sold without late sister’s heirs?
My two grandfathers (brothers) are jointly enjoying ancestral property. Their sister was married before 1956 and has passed away. There’s no formal partition, only separate revenue records (patta, chitta). Can this property be sold without involving the sister’s legal heirs?

If your grandfather's sister passed away and the property is ancestral, her legal heirs (like children) may still have a claim. You cannot sell the property legally without clearing their share. Consult a property lawyer to identify all legal heirs and get proper documentation before selling. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number
