Your father has the right to challenge the claim for ownership of the house as he built it with his own money. He can seek legal advice to contest the demand for monthly allowance, arguing it’s not legally justified in this case. The inheritance of his property will depend on his will and applicable laws, and his daughters can claim their share.

In a 200 square yard plot, inherited by two brothers, elder brother (A) and younger brother (B), as per their father’s registered will, brother A receives 175 square yards while brother B receives 150 square yards (at the back). The will states that while brother B can only enjoy the property, he cannot sell it, even after marriage. His wife and he can lease or rent it out, but selling is prohibited. Only their son, if they have one, can sell the property. If brother B dies without marrying or after his wife’s death, the property will go to brother A. Brother B has now married a widow who has a son (not from their marriage). Can this son become a legal heir to brother B’s property?
