Does the son of a deceased sister have any right in ancestral property? So now do we need the signature of the dead sisters’ children will they have any rights? 

The owner of land is ready to sell and there is no dispute towards the possession. Furthermore, the sons of the deceased sister are not living with the owner and they have never claimed any rights in the property. The owner’s age is 62 but he is a sound mind. He wants some money to meet his medical expenses therefore he has decided to sell his land. The owner has no child and is currently living with his elder brother.
