Property dispute - Earlier that my father was married
2 years ago
My mother(w2) married to my father(h) and I was born. Earlier that my father was married to another woman(w1) from that marriage he had 2 children. That woman passed away then my father married again to my mom. Now my father has also passed away. The house in which we all are living along with 2 children is in the name of first wife(w1). Do my mother(w2) and me have any right in the property?
