Assuming you are hindu. As per the information you've provided, your nephew can ask for the share that belonged to him since it was his ancestral property and after your sister's death, her legal heirs will get her share in the property as per the hindu succession act. He can claim his share by approaching the court.  
Your stand out will be the share that the other 3 sisters have transferred in your name along with your own share.
