Daughter's right to claim share in mother's property


30-Jan-2023 (In Property Law)
My mother passed away in 2014 without making any will, i am a daughter (Hindu, married 43 yr old) and i have an elder brother. In the absence of the will, what share do I get of her property? how soon should we declare that the owner is deceased and declare the legal heirs? two of the properties my mother was co-owner with my sister in law, can i share claim in those property also?
