If it is the self-acquired property of your mother then she can write a will to anybody and as per your statement she wrote the will in your favour in 1998 but again in 2000 without mentioning the will she gave a portion to your sister. Since your mother has not mentioned the will it can be interpreted that she cancelled the will and the will has become thus infructuous. You can probate the will to prove that it is genuine but it will not be any use because of the subsequent transaction. Any how the rest of the property will go to the legal heirs.

The Will is valid in respect of the remaining parcel of land (3960-1521=2439 sq. ft.). You have to file a petition at the proper court for a declaration to the effect. The portion gifted to your sister and the remaining portion of land should be clearly defined.
