My uncle expired with no family and no will...He had * brothers out of which * brothers expired before his death and remaining brother after his death..so who are now legal heirs?
Hey ****! In Maharashtra, if a person dies intestate (without a will), the legal heirs are determined according to the Hindu Succession Act. Generally, the property goes to Class I heirs first. If there are no Class I heirs, it moves to Class II heirs, which include brothers and their descendants. You may need to consult a local lawyer for detailed succession guidance based on your uncle's specific family situation.
