As per amendment of Hindu succession act in 2005 a great changes had been enacted ,now under both school Mithakshara and Dayabhaga Daughters has been given equal rights as par to sons .So now daughter can demand and ask for share in property if not testamentary .As far your query is concerned you had not made clear whether the property in question is ancestral property or not ,with that its not clear whether the property was in name of your mother ? Please clarify this .
If any further query you are free to put your question ,always welcome !!

Yes they have equal share in their property but to avoid litigation u can also enter in to a mutual family settelment with them and on the basis of the same u get it declared from the court by filling a declaration suit

Your sisters do have a right in the self acquired property if your father. However, they cannot institute anycase case till the time your father is alive. Also, if your father executes a will during his lifetime bequeathing all the property belonging to him, your sister will have no claim against the said properties.
