• Grandfather property to granddaughters

My Grandfather passed away in year 2000 without any will. All the property was divided and registered in the year 2012 among Class I Hiers - grand mother, son 1 and son 2. All the Class I Hiers were alive during this property division. Now Son2 daughters (grand daughter) want to claim property right on her grandfather’s property which was already registered? So Son2 planning to put case claiming that property not divided correctly. Does the property registered earlier will be invalid and can grand daughters claim the share now.

The granddaughters or grandsons do not have any rights in their grandparents properties,  at least not during the lifetime of their parents. 

The property of grandfather was divided among his own legal heirs by registered partition deed,  there's no claim by the next generation children in this property after this partition.

Once a amicable partition deed was executed by a registered document  on the basis of mutual agreement among all the legal heirs or shareholders,  the proposed case by a dissatisfied heir at this belated stage may not be maintainable.

If the recital in the registered partition deed states that the share of grandmother shall devolve on one son alone after her demise then the other legal heirs cannot claim any share in it.
