settlllement made to sisters and obtained receipt

we are 4 brothers and 4 sisters. our father died in 1980's. Our father prepared a will o/a immovable property.

He made separate arrangement for our mother. our mother has no right in the house property. He gave property to all the four brothers. that will is not registered. after our fathers demise we gave Rs50000/- each to our sisters and obtained receipt and they have acknowledged no right over property left by our father.

we did not register that document.

one of our brothers son propose to construct a house in the vacant site. What is recourse to to settle the property by demarking individual rights.

all the 3 of 4 us having daughters only and 4th is having daughter and son.one of our sisters asking for share in the building. can we say no on the strenth of unregistered will and receipt given by them

Yes.  Will does not require registration.  However it must have been attested by two witnesses as per law.  Among yourselves(brothers) the property can be divided by having a registered partition deed.  If the property is in any Presidency town the will has to be probated before the High Court.
