Hi there. In this scenario, if the property is ancestral, the most effective way to protect your legal rights is to institute a **Suit for Declaration and Partition**. As an interim relief, you can also seek a **temporary injunction/stay order** restraining the other parties from selling, transferring, alienating, or creating any third-party interest in the properties until the disposal of the suit. If you have any questions or require any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to me. I would be happy to assist you.

You can consider filing for a partition suit as well as legal guardianship of your mother as per the civil law before the appropriate authority. Having said that, you can ask the court for appointment of a local commissioner to look after the bank accounts and other properties of your mother.
