The inheriance issue will be governed in terms of Sections 8 to 13 of the Hindu Succession Act. The Class I heirs mentioned in the schedule inherits equally; and if there is no Class I heir, the Class II heirs will inherit to the exclusion of others in the order of sequence.

You may describe your relationship to the deceased to enable me to guide you about your rights.
