Re: About my grandfathers property
Yes, you have share in the ancestral property. You can file a civil suit in the trial court of your area claiming for
(a) partition of the property amongst all the legal heirs of your grandfather in accordance with their respective share; and
(b possession of your portion of the land.
Your share will depend upon a few facts which are missing in your note, e.g. the marriages of your grand father; if all the 14 children are from one wife or different wives; dates of their birth; date of death of your grandfather; etc. etc.
All these facts will be noted down from you by your local lawyer whom you will need to engage for filing your case.
