As the property was in joint name, it entirely depends on if the clause on death of either of owner has been added to the same. However, in the case, if there is no such clause also, the father left behind three legal heirs wife and two daughters, so on his share these three will have equal rights.

The 50% is mother's absolute share. In the remaining portions 33.33% each should be allocated to the mother and two daughters each. This is based on the assumption that the family is Hindu. Also, the mother may transfer any amount of her share to the daughters but for that a registered deed will be needed.
