Your father in law died without writing a Will. Therefore, the land belongs to all the legal heirs equally. They will have to make a partition deed, with the document of title deed of the property as the basic document. If the Daughters do not have any objection for the land to be registered in the name of Mother, they can give their no objection in such partition deed itself. Such Partition Deed need to be registered. After the procedure is followed, based on the Registered Partition Deed, the property can be sold.

Please do consult a Lawyer in your area.

On the death of the father-in-law all the intestate properties has been vested with the legal heirs viz. the mother-in-law and the children. They can sell the property as joint holders or after partition or family settlement.
