Son have the right in father's property irrespective of the fact that he is legitimate or illegitimate child. You can claim your rights in his property but your mother will not have any rights in his property. For better advice you need to personally come to my office.

if the marriage took place during existance of the first wife then the second marriage within itself is null and void ,therefore the wife holds no rights but there are various supreme Court authorities where children even born out of illicit relationshipso would be considered to be legitimate and have right to seek maintenance.
