wanted to know if step brother & sister can claim on my mothers property?
A.Hello Sir/Ma'am
If your father has left a will then the property would be divided according to thay otheriwise it would divided according to the hindu succession act. Also according to the act step children are not direct legal heirs therefore they cannot claim the property via hindu Succession act.
Thanks

A.Step brother and stepsister have no right to claim the property which is in your mother's name after her death because step children have no right in step mother's property ,be it movable assets like equity shares etc and immovable property.
