Can I claim a property belonging to my unmarried step brother?
Question
My mother had a second marriage. My mother expired in 2018.My father(my mother’s second husband) expired in 2021.My step brother expired in 2022.My step brother had no other brother or sister except myself. My step brother’s grand mother who expired in 2012 gifted her property in 2011 to my step brother who had made a joint venture with a property builder with that gifted property and got 2 flats.
Now as my mother,my father(2nd husband) & my unmarried step brother expired so can I claim those 2 flats which is in my step brother’s name?

If you are a Hindu then as per the succession law, if you are the only legal heir left and your step brother’s parents have died and there is no other real sibling of your step brother, then the property would devolve upon you. if there is a real sibling alive then you wont be able to get anything.
