Ancestral Property Clarification

Summary

In West Bengal, property inherited through three generations is generally not considered ancestral, as the law typically requires four male lineages for a property to be classified as ancestral. If the property remains undivided, all legal heirs must agree to any sale or transfer. For specific legal advice, consulting a local lawyer is recommended.
