Father purchased property (building) in the name of his wife. Hence it is self acquired property of the wife. So after wife's death, her husband and all children including daughters have equal rights over the property. Consult local advocate having knowledge in property matters to file case. But delayed.

That property that remained undivided, the son is entitled to a share if the father died intestate.

It was self-acquired property of the father. But he registered in the name of his wife. From your statements it is understood that it was not a gift-deed in favour of his wife.It was held be-nami by the wife. Hence the father is competent to deal in any manner he liked with the property after the death of his wife.. His gift deeds in favour of his daughters would be valid. The third floor would be intestate property and all the three children would be equally entitled for the third floor. This is the legal position according to me. But if all the three children go to court with separate lawyers, the outcome would be what each one of them claims and how clever the three lawyers are.

When husband purchases a property in the name of his wife, it is termed as gift to his wife out of natural love and affection. This becomes the wife's own property and the husband has no right over the property. In the event of the wife dying intestate, all of her legal beneficiaries have equalt rights in the property. The husband can not claim sole right.
Dr J C Vashista (Advocate) 16 November 2019
All LRs of the lady (wife), who died intestate have an equal share i.e., one share each to husband, son(s), daughter(s) and if any other.
Prima facie it is an academic question paper for exercise.
However, it is advisable to consult a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts and circumstance/ documents, guidance and proceeding.

Any co-sharer occupying the undivided property is presumed trustee and his occupation is considered in law as trustee for all co-sharers and he can not exclusively claim entire undivided property as his own. Contact a local advocate and issue a legal notice seeking partition, at the earliest. Depending on the response you have to file partition suit seeking individual share for all legal heirs as per law and make all the legal heirs as parties in the suit.
