Since your parents died intestate, you have an equal right to inherit their assets under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 (if Hindu). If the joint bank account was only for convenience and not with survivorship rights, you can claim your share of the funds. For the land transferred to your sister, if it was a legal gift or sale, challenging it may be difficult, but if fraud is suspected, you can verify documents and file a case. For other parental properties, you can file a partition suit to claim your rightful share. Legal consultation and document verification are crucial before proceeding.
