My grandfather had divorced my grandmother but recently died without any other heir except the ones from his first marriage ie my grandmother. To whom will his property go?

His children. If his children pre deceased him then his grandchildren. If he never had children then it goes to his siblings. If siblings died then to the children of the deceased siblings.

So all of his property will go to his children and existing spouse if any. No property will go to divorced spouses.

As long as birth certificates are in order, their won’t be an issue (grandfather’s name on father’s birth certificate).

doesnt matter. since when is last name a criteria. There are hindu and muslim succession laws. You will get inheritance according to that if your grandfather hasnt left a will. Son of your grandfathers wife is presumed to be his son by default. you dont have to go anywhere to prove.

He doesnt consider your father as his child?

If he dies without writing a will then you all can claim inheritance.

muslim heritance and hindu heritance works differently. If the property he has is ancestral then you can give case.

Children first(doesn’t matter if partner is divorced or not) in absence of a will, if none of the partners have their children alive(then grandchildren), if none of the partner’s children are alive/or no offspring, then siblings> descendants of the siblings (considering parents aren’t alive)
