my father was employee in Incometax department .My father has purchased a flat in ANDHERI(E) which was 1BHK in society (self acquired property).i got married and staying in pune. my father died intestate( with out will) in 1996 my brother is living with my mother ( widow) . after the death of my father as per nomination in society the shares are transferred to my mother . now in year 2005 the society undergone redevelopment and my mother got 2BHK ( 800 sq. feet ) flat . the cost of present property is nearly 200 lakhs .now as per tradition in utterpradesh my mother want to transfer all property i.e. redeveloped flat of 800 sq. feet to my brother only by making legal will and nomination in society.
MY questions are:-1) can i claim my 1/3 share in said flat as per Hindu Succession Amendment Act, 2005 or Hindu Succession Amendment Act( maharshtra 1994)
2) can my mother give her full 1/3 share to my brother only by will as i am also her daughter and she got her share from my father
3) what steps i should take to protect at least 1/3 share in said property as my relations with my brother are already spoiled by property dispute as my mother made forced will in my brother's favour ( giving all her share to my brother only).
4) in case of death of my widow mother what steps i should take regarding communication to society ( as my name is not there in nomination form) and stoping sell of said property to 3rd party by my brother keeping me in dark.
5) can my brother leagally rent out that property in present and after death of my mother
