My father recently passed away, leaving all his property to our mother. We are two brothers, and the property is spread across Ghaziabad, Ajmer, and Jamnagar. Do I have a right to a share of the property? Can my mother divide the property unequally between us? If she does, can I challenge her decision?

Under Indian law, as your father’s son, you are a legal heir and have a right to a share of his property. Your mother can divide the property unequally, but you can challenge the division in court if you believe it is unfair or based on favoritism, not on legitimate reasons like your needs or contributions.
