Khata will have to be issued in the joint names of all the legal heirs. It will be a joint property when there is no Will executed by your father.

All 5 legal representative of deceased are to succeed in equal share.

Your mom may bequeath her share in favour of any one after it has been transferred in her name.

Mutation can neither create nor remove the ownership rights of co-sharers. Any of the co-sharers if undivided can mutate in his/her name as trustee. Because the property was mutated in the name of your mother, she can not become an absolute and exclusive owner of the entire property, but her rights are confirmed to 1/5th on her own and in the capacity of trustee for all of you. She can only deal with her own 1/5th share.
