Dear Sir,

Property still joint and undivided

Then your father (as a coparcener) can ask for partition among himself and his brothers.
You, as his child, cannot directly file for partition against your uncles while your father is alive — but your father can.

You can request your father to initiate the partition or join as a supporting party.

Your father has passed away

Then you can step into your father’s place and claim his share in the ancestral property — even if partition was not yet done.

You can file a suit for partition and claim your father’s share in the joint family property.

Dear sir, as per your query,

 

If you are a Hindu by religion and covered by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, you can automatically become a coparcener by birth and ask for a share in the ancestral property. You can demand partition of the property and ask for mutation of your name in your share. 

 

Steps to follow:

1. Request for a family meeting for partition of the ancestral property. If they agree, you can register a partition deed. 

 

2. If they refuse, you can file a partition suit to determine your exact share in the property. 

3. Get your mutation done, once the property is divided.
