1)will comes into effect only on demise of the grand father

2) during his lifetime grand father can sell the shops bequeathed by him to your father

3) you and your mother cannot claim share in sale proceeds of the shop

4) even your father cannot claim any share in sale proceeds of the shops during his father lifetime

1.Since Your father is the owner of the shop he can do anything with it or with its sale price.

2.legally you can not claim the amount from which he got after selling the shop nor you ca ask for money for the marriage of your sister.

3.This is his money and he can do anything with it. Moral obligations has nothing to do with the legal obligations.

4. So your only option is to convince him to part with some money for the marriage of your sister.

5. if he does not take care of your monthly maintenance then your mother or sister can file case for maintenance.

First of all please be aware that a Will can be enforced only after the lifetime of the testator

You have not told that who sold whose property.

If the property was sold by your grandfather, he has all the rights to sell it during his lifetime if it is his own property.

You cannot claim it as your right from him. He can give it or not will depend on his own will and wish.

You have no rights over it especially when your father is living and he himself do not have any rights in his father's property during his father's lifetime.
