If your GrandPa died intestate, then the sisters have a share but if he has made a will in the favour of his sons and the daughters then the sisters have share according to the Will only. You may also drop a detailed query at [email protected]

Dear Sir / Madam,

The second son can give his share of the property to whomsoever he so pleases to. There is nothing binding on him that he should compulsorily give his share to any of his sisters, after him. That is purely left to him to decide.

Regards,
