My mother had a land property of worth 2 crores. She wrote a will that the property should belong to her 2 sons and 2 daughters equally. When her health was deteorated her sons threatened her to write a 2nd will that the property should be given to her 2 sons only , and took her to the registrar office and get it registered. Later she told all this to her daughters and asked them to do something. The daughters could get a signature of her on a paper and made an unregistered will stating that the property should be distributed equally among sons and daughters. She died later. Now the daughters disputed the issue and gave a lawyer notice saying that their will was the last one. The sons also gave reply notice. In this connection, what procedure has to be followed by the daughters to get justice?

Whether by way of unregistered will she bequeathed property to daughters only?
If yes, they can file a civil suit seeking declaration that they are the owners of the property on the basis of the last will of their mother and challenging the will in favour of sons.
