Re: Wills
If it was self acquired property of your grandfather it will go as per will so you can challenge the will if possible but if it was ancestral property Will will have no effect.Then property will be equally divided between 2 sons and 3daughters (including the predeceased daughter'share which will be divided among her children).
Re: Wills
If the property was ancestral property then the share will be divided equally and if the property was self acquired then you can take a chance to challenge the WILL.
