As Salaamu Alaikum

Respected Mufti Saheb. I would just like to ask this question so that my heart may be put at ease. My father passed away 23 years ago, this was before my grandfather had passed away. My question relates to inheritence, recently it was found that our family had some land in india which was subsequently sold, my siblings and I received nothing from the proceeds of this sale as we were told that according to the Shariah we are not eligible to receive anything. The family had found out about this land years after the death of my grandfather. Please can you tell me if this is correct.

JazakAllah

Many questions arise - in whose name was the land? Who then are the heirs? Who was in-charge of distribution? If you were to inherit and deprived of your inheritance then those who usurped your property/share are definitely sinful.
