Hi,
As per Indian succession act all four of you will save equal share in the ancestral property,
you can file a suit for partition of the property , in case the property could not be divided the court will order for the auction of the property and moreover your mother can claim maintenance From all three of you .

thanks

Hello Sir I have perused your query. If the property in question is ancestral and the father died intestate then the property is equally inherited by the mother and children. Moreover, the mother in these circumstances is entitled to sell only her share in the property. A partition suit can be filed in such a scenario to cryatalize shares of everyone in the property.

If the property is transferred to the mother after the demise of the father by virtue of a will or gift deed then she is the absolute owner of it and thus does not need to seek permission from anyone to dispose or sell it off. For further information feel free to contact me. Thank you
