A.Hi,
In case of will, the property will be distributed according to the terms of the will.
If your mother dies intestate, under Hindu law, her children, children of predeceased children and her husband have an equal right to the property. In their absence, the property is inherited by other heirs as per order of preference.

A.Hi,
If will is made, then the property will be distributed accordingly.
If will is not made, then the property will be distributed among the legal heirs of your mother.

A.Dear Client,

1. If your mother executed a will, then all her shares transferred to the person according to the will.
2. If there is no will, your mother's shares devolve upon her legal heirs viz., her son and two daughters. You can divide the shares by executing a partition deed mutually.
