My sister unmarried died intestate.our parents are also dead. Only four biological sisters are alive class1. Her brothers died long ago but has children.Who are the rightful heirs to her property. While she was alive I was taking care of her financially and giving her home to live in Chennai for 15 years since she was ill. Her property is in Kerala. I have read many articles and one said that, in such cases, the close relatives who are alive at the time of her death are the heirs.Please advice me.
