If the property belonging to a person is his/her self acquired property the he can give the same to any one she wishes.

The situation is different for ancestral property.

However the step son/daughter can not inherit the property of step parent.

Yes but only if the same is ancestral property.

you have stated that will is in your name? who made the will ?
was probate obtained?

if property has been willed to you, your stepmom cannot give property to her daughter .

if the will is arranged by your step mother.. still she alive., also now she wants to transfer the property to her daughter name.. nothing wrong here.. a will can cancelled how many time till her life time.

on the other hand if the property is ancestral property she can't.. you can challenge the same.. you can challenge it without your parents.. but since she is your step mother here something confusion.. just consult your advocate.. because how your step mother and you can claim a same property as ancetral?

1) you can claim a share of your biological father if any property in his hand at present has originally belonged to your great grand
father from it came down to your grand father,and then to your father,otherwise you can not claim in his life time,unless your father dies leaving properties without making a WILL in your favor alone,in absence of will share with all the sharers he may leave on his death.

2)you can not claim the property of your biological mother in her lifetime as of right.

3)Your step mother or any body can change his/her Will as many time as one wants during his/her life,so can also do your step mother.your step mother can give her property to her daughter,if she owns it by a gift or by changing the WILL made in your favor.

hope you now have got your all doubts removed.
