Yes your mom have right to equal share in the said property .

That is the property has to be divided equally among all four heirs.

Without any dealy you need to file two cases, one is for cancelation of deed registered in favour of your mom's brother and file another case for partition and separate possession.

Please inform me first where are you from India?
My reply would depend on knowing this fact as the supreme court decision is not applicable in Bengal and Assam region.
Mitakshara law of succession doesn't apply to these parts of India.

No, the widow sister cannot claim unless and until her father alive. If her father died on or before 2005 then, in that case the widow sister's cannot claim it. but after the death of her father, Then only they can claim there shares on the property. You can contact me also.

In this case, if you are Hindu then as per the Hindu succession act you have your share in the property and if your sister in law in disputing in that you can file suit for partition. Also partition in dwelling house is not permitted for a daughter however if they want to sell it, it cannot be done without giving your entitled share. For any further legal assistance please feel free to contact

you can get a stay on the property being sold. first send them a legal notice notifying your intention to partition the property. if they do not comply with the legal notice or do not respond to it,. you may proceed to file a partition suit for the said property

Hello

You can proceed for partition before the appropriate Court of law. And also ask for interim stay on the sale of the property so that your brother is stopped from selling it to any one. You are the legal heir to your parents and yes you will have 1/5th share in the property.
