A. Dear client,
The payment of dowry has long been prohibited under specific Indian laws including the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 approved by the Parliament of India and subsequently by Sections 304B and 498A of the Indian Penal Code.
Therefore, whatever your sister got during her wedding as "dowry" does not count as part of property.

As a legitimate daughter, she still therefore has a share in your mother's property

A. Dear Sir.
If her mental status is not good and unable to understand then you cannot get Will from her. However, you can get a certificate from medical officer saying she is mentally fit to execute any document. Registration of Will is not compulsory.
