Ancestral property - 6 acre land is in my brothers name Ancestral property - 6 acre land is in my brothers name

6 acre land is in my brother’s name ( will made by grandfather probably when brother was still minor ). Another separate 2 acre land Was made to my father’s name by will from my great grandfather.

There is a plot with 2 separate residential buildings - front portion with 1 building is passed from grandfather to grandmother and then to my father. Back half of the plot with another building is again made will in my father’s name by my great grandfather.

Now what are my rights over these 4 separate properties as daughter?

My father wants to keep most of it for himself and brother.
My father’s sisters have signed long back releasing their rights over the property.
My brother is not willing to share property equally.

My father being irresponsible has sold about 6 acres long back because of his loans; He has not spent much to our education or upbringing ; He did not spend any money on our marriage. has not kept any savings. Has taken our savings to repay his bad loans and still some loan is pending.

Now he is not willing to support us when we want our share.
He wants to keep most of it to himself till his death.

He may spoil more of the property if left to himself.

What does law say in this scenario.
Please guide.

A.Hello,
Daughters, irrespective of their marital status, can ask for partition and an equal share of the ancestral property of their parents. However, this is only null in cases where a will has been made stating the deceased person has left the property to the son and not the daughter.
