Do I have rights in grandfather’s property after death?

My grandfather purchased land in my father’s name when he was a minor. My father died shortly after my birth, and the family property was never divided. My grandfather never gave me any share, and now he has also passed away. The property is not in my grandfather’s name. Do I have any legal right to claim my grandfather’s property?

If the land was bought in your father’s name, and your grandfather didn’t transfer it before death, you may still claim inheritance rights as a Class I legal heir. File a partition suit in civil court and request mutation of your name in land records, based on succession laws. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
