i have already advised you . contact a local lawyer . show him will made by your grand mother . from modified facts placed on record by you it appears your grand mother had only 1/6th share in property .

she could only make will in respect of her 1/6th share of property . apply for probate of grand mother will .

1. Since the case has already been filed your father should contest it on merits by engaging his own lawyer.

2. If your grand father died without a will then after his death the property vested equally in his widow and children whereupon the widow could make a will of her share in the property. She could not have made an enlarged will which could take within its realm the entire property of your grand father unless your grand mother was given the right to do so by your grand father.

3. If she has set up her case by stating that the property purchased by your father was purchased with the money of your grand father then place on record proof which can vouch to the contrary.

You have furnished some additional facts which ought to have been furnished at the outset.

Your grand mother had only 1/6th share in the property. Hence, she could not have made a will over and above her share.

Engage a lawyer and contest her case to protect your proprietary rights.

You have already been suggested to engage a lawyer and contest the case. Submit to the court all the proofs which can vouch that aunts received a share in the property from their father.
