ancestral property rights to daughters

Nandana (Querist) 28 August 2009 This query is : Resolved
My father in law has an ancestral property acquired by his father. he as 2 sons and 3 daughters all of whom are married. i would like to know whether daughters have an equal share in land inspite that they were married in 1992, 1993 and 1995 respectively. i got to know some information about hindu succession act in the internet which says that daughters married before 1992 are entitled to have claim in the ancestral land. my father in law is still alive, can he execute a will in his daughters favor by giving less proportion of his land to sons?
