The self acquired property of deceased (father) was left behind when he died in 2004 .the deceased left behind 2 daughters and one son and deceased 's wife (widow). In todays date(property is in name of deceased ).
Does sisters have one fourth share both each ??as hindu successsion act came in 2005 and deceased father died in 2004.
What is the division of property if son of deceased is married now and has a baby.Who are the legal heirs of deceased now and what are the shares of each including minor grandson ?
can son of deceased relinquish his share to his mother (including grandson share)?

relinquishment of share is possible and the succession certificate needs to be obtained in this case. even the share of sisters be decided in the petition.
All legal heirs will have shares as per the law of succession governing the deceased.
In case deceased was Hindu, then his widow, sons, daughters and mother will have equal shares.
