if the property was legally bequeathed to you in your father’s registered will, it should pass to you, despite it being ancestral property. Your sister’s children may have a claim if the property is considered ancestral, but a registered will generally takes precedence.

Will can be challenged by them, you will have to contest the case and defend the will if they have filed any case against you. You have to bring witness of the will and tender evidence in court so far so that will can be proved in your favour.
