Property dispute Property dispute

Dear Sir,

My mother wants to give 100% of my father's house property to my elder sister. We are two brothers and one sister. My father died in 2012.

My brother and I have one daughter each of 3 years and 7years old and my mother wants to deprive their right of my father's property.

Please advice what we can do?

Regards,
Sanjay

A.You can challenge this by filing a partition suit.
If the property is ancestral in nature then it cannot be divided by the wishes of the mother.
Thanks
