Inheritance of property

I have a friend named Raghu, He had two elder sisters (both were married) and an younger brother. Raghu lost his parents 5 years ago. From then One of his elder sister's husband is taking care of them. Both of his sister's marriages was done by her father before his death settling properties as dowry. And his parents made no will about their property. Now, their sisters were asking for the share in the property. (by forces of her husbands) What is their extent of legal right in that property? and who will be the heirs of that property.? Please any one give a solution to this problem.

Daughter (both married/unmarried) have an equal share in the joint family property. You should all sit as a family and come to a settlement. If they agree for a monetary consideration in relinquishment of their share, you can give that to them - enter into a relinquishment deed cum family arrragement signed by all parties - register it in a Sub-Registrar's office - apply to Court for issing a letter of administration to you where you are designed as the owner of the property. If needed, take help of a good local lawyer. As much as possible, avoid a court case.
